IKEA LEOPARD Highchairs
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The snap locks used to secure the seat to the frame can break and allow the seat and child to drop through the frame, posing a fall hazard to young children. Detached snap locks can pose a choking hazard to young children.
