Recalled: The Antilop high chair - from supplier #17389 and production date 0607-0911 - that has a faulty safety beltIkea says it has received eight reports of the safety belts opening, including three which led to minor injuries from falls. Some 60,438 of the Chinese-made highchairs were sold in Britain between January 2007 and September last year. In a statement, the company said: ‘The highchair belt can open unexpectedly in use, creating a fall hazard.
‘Ikea has received eight reports of belt opening, including three resulting in minor injury when a child fell from the highchair. ‘No other highchairs are affected. Ikea apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.’ The chair, which comes in red, blue and white, is plastic and sits on four metal legs and is fitted with a grey belt and clasp.

The company says replacement belts will be issued, free of charge, at their stores’ returns departments. Apologies: Ikea has asked customers with affected high chairs to visit one of their stores or call customer services Two days ago, a contributor to the Mumsnet parenting website highlighted how her young son had managed to get out of his belt. She wrote: ‘OK, so anyone know how to keep a climbing baby in the Antilop highchair?
‘There doesn’t seem to be any way to fit a five-point harness, went to get a cloth earlier and came back to find DS had wriggled out from the lap belt (I do tighten it but it loosens itself) and was sitting on the tray with his back to me!’ An earlier post stated: ‘Babybod has turned into an escapologist and no matter how tight the strap on the Antilop is, he wriggles out. Do I just need to buy superglue?!’ Last night an Ikea spokesman said: ‘Customers are advised to contact us for an exchange or refund if they have bought the faulty product.’I challenge even the most reluctant shopper to go to IKEA and not buy something completely random for their home. IKEA do many things well, indeed they’ve built a furniture empire on the back of their simple flat-packed furniture and no frills decor designs. But as with any brand that size, you can’t get everything right and this has certainly resulted in some dud items over the years.
Here are a list of items you should avoid purchasing from IKEA, and not just because you can’t be bothered putting them together yourself. If it’s a good nights sleep you’re looking for, avoid IKEA mattresses. While there’s no complaining about the prices – which range from $90 to $1000 – the mattresses regularly receive complaints for being too firm. A review based on 224 consumer experiences, gathered from 68 sources, found IKEA’s latex, foam and spring options warrant disappointing owner satisfaction grades, from B- to D. The industry site said: “A main complaint for IKEA spring mattresses is sagging and development of body impressions which can cause discomfort and back pain.” that IKEA mattresses should be avoided at all costs. IKEA mattresses may be preventing you from getting your beauty sleep. “The key to a great shopping experience with IKEA is to focus on basic items or staples in the room, such as sturdy office furniture and chairs,” says Pourny.
Controversially, he says shoppers should avoid mass-produced and bland accessories. “You can add more of your individual personality with a few flea market finds,” he says. “That way you’re creating a space unique to you.” Experts recommend putting more personal touches on your decor style. These may be good at storing all of your mothball jumpers, but they’re potentially deadly. Earlier this year, IKEA had to recall 29 million Malm dressers in the US after they were linked to the deaths of six toddlers. They weren’t recalled in Australia because they don’t fail Australian safety standards and can be secured to a wall, but the product’s reputation has undoubtedly been tarnished. Other IKEA products that have been recalled in Australia include a high chair and Roman blinds. IKEA recalled 29 million Malm dressers in the US last year after they were linked to the deaths of six toddlers. A $1 hot dog from the cafeteria Sure it’s good value, but at what cost to your immune system?
Use your own judgment on this one. The $1 IKEA hot dog, for the brave or really hungry. In saying all of this, many IKEA products have been best-sellers for years and popular among those who want inexpensive Scandinavian simplicity. Here are some IKEA favourites that you should not avoid. IKEA’s best selling item of all time is the humble Billy bookcase. It’s cheap, it’s simple and it’s customisable – perfect for when you finish a book series or buy another crate of vinyl. The Billy bookcase is IKEA’s best selling product of all time. From ceramics to melamine to very low-priced glassware, IKEA do kitchens well. If you’re catering for a lot of people, their large sets are ideal and won’t break the bank. Similarly IKEA pots and pans are great for a share house as they’re cheap yet still functional. IKEA glasses are good for catering. IKEA has a huge range of assemble-yourself-desks, but this was a stand-out from the 2017 catalogue.
