ARGOS has recalled three Cuggl high chairs over fears a safety issue could cause tots to fall out of them.
Parents have been warned to stop using the high chairs and to return them for a full refund.
Argos says testing has shown the back of the chair could fail, which could lead to a child falling out.
The affected products are the same model chair, but in three different colours including grey, purple and green.
They are the Cuggl Little Sheep Deluxe, Cuggl Plum Deluxe and the Cuggl Pumpkin Deluxe.
Argos sold the chairs for £39.99 both online and through its in-store catalogues.

Your product recall rights
PRODUCT recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods.
As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.
But it’s often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk.
If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer’s website to see if a safety notice has been issued.
When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you – the customer – to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don’t there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault.
If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer.
They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice.
In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected.
You should not be charged for any recall work – such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item.
Argos hasn’t said whether any incidences of tots falling have been reported to the retailer.
No other high chairs sold by the retailer are affected by the recall.
In a safety notice on the Argos website, the retailer said: “The safety of our customers is our highest priority, please be assured that no other highchair is affected by this issue.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this issue. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us on our helpline.”
The Sun has contacted Argos for additional comment and we’ll update this article when we get a response.
