Recalled IKEA baby chair not available in Cyprus

IKEA Cyprus yesterday assured consumers that a baby highchair at the centre of a safety scare is not available on the island.

Almost 1,000 of the chairs are to be recalled in Britain.

A spokesman said the product was also being recalled in almost two dozen countries throughout Europe.

In a statement, he said that while no accidents had occurred, the company had acted after a customer complaint in Germany.

“An investigation traced the cause of the problem to human error affecting a few production weeks only,” he said. “Measures have been implemented to secure future deliveries.”

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
