Overview of the Bugaboo High Chair Recall
On June 12, 2025, Bugaboo North America issued a recall for approximately 18,280 Giraffe high chairs sold in the United States and an additional 2,325 units sold in Canada. The recall comes after reports that the legs of the chair can detach from the frame —creating a serious fall hazard for infants and toddlers. These incidents can result in severe injuries or even death.
Parents and caregivers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled high chairs and contact Bugaboo for a free repair kit. The kit includes new screws and an Allen key to ensure the legs are secured safely to the frame.

Reported Injuries and Safety Concerns
Bugaboo has received 22 reports of the legs detaching from the high chair. Alarmingly, 13 of those reports included injuries, although the potential for more serious injuries or even fatalities remains a significant concern—especially when it comes to infants.
Falls from high chairs can cause:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Facial fractures
- Broken bones
- Spinal injuries
- Internal bleeding
Given the height and age of the child at risk, even a minor fall can be devastating.
Understanding Product Liability in High Chair Injury Cases
If your child was injured due to a defective Bugaboo Giraffe high chair, you may be eligible to file a product liability claim. Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible when they sell defective or unsafe products that cause harm.
There are generally three types of product defects that may give rise to a legal claim:
- Design Defects – Problems inherent in the design itself.
- Manufacturing Defects – Errors during the production process that make a product unsafe.
- Marketing Defects – Failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions.
In the case of the Bugaboo recall, the issue appears to relate to assembly and design, potentially falling under one or more of these categories. If the product’s safety depended entirely on users properly tightening the screws—with no backup safety mechanism—this may indicate a design flaw.
Potential Compensation for Victims
If your child has been hurt due to a fall from a recalled Bugaboo Giraffe high chair, a product liability claim may help you recover compensation for damages such as:
- Medical expenses (ER visits, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation)
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Future medical care
- Lost income (if a parent had to miss work to care for the injured child)
- Long-term disability or disfigurement
Each case is unique, and the damages available will depend on the nature and severity of the injury. An experienced attorney can help assess your potential claim.
What to Do If You Own a Recalled Bugaboo Giraffe High Chair
Bugaboo recommends the following steps:
- Stop using the high chair immediately.
- Do not attempt to fix the product without the official repair kit. Improper repairs could make the chair even more dangerous.
