IKEA has been forced to recall a brand of baby’s high chair after it emerged they are at risk of collapsing while the child is in them.

Around 15 families in Britain are set to take legal action over injuries to children which they say were caused by Maclaren pushchairs.

Pushchair manufacturer Maclaren will issue safety kits to parents concerned by reports of children's fingertips being cut off when using their pushchairs.

THE National Consumer Agency (NCA) has said it is unacceptable for pushchair manufacturers Maclaren not to order a product recall in this country after it emerged that 12 American children had their fingertips cut off in buggy-related accidents.

Maclaren today defended its decision not to organise a European recall of children’s pushchairs at the centre of a safety scare despite doing so in the US.
