A popular chair sold in IKEA stores throughout Ireland has been urgently recalled over injury fears.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission issued a recall notice for the ODGER Swivel Chair earlier this week.
It said they pose a risk of “falling and injury” as some chairs have been found to break at the base.

A spokesperson said: “IKEA has recalled certain ODGER Swivel Chairs. The risk associated with the product is that of falling and injury. Some of these chairs have been found to break at the star base of the leg, posing a risk of falling and injury to the consumer.
“The brand is ODGER. The Swivel chair is anthracite colour with date stamps before and including 2021. The date stamp is located underneath the seat, moulded into the material of the chair.
“The affected product was available for purchase from October 2019 to December 2022.”
Over 600 of these chairs have been sold in Ireland over the past three years.
The IKEA chair is among a number of product recalls issued by the CCPC this week.
Several pairs of shoes sold across Ireland were recalled amid injury fears. Due to a manufacturing fault, some could contain an “exposed nail” which could cause injury when worn.
The popular Dune Head and Heels branded boots were for sale in TK Maxx and Homesense in October 2022. They come in both knee-hight and ankle-hight varieties.
The CCPC said: “TJX Ireland Unlimited Company t/a TK Maxx and Homesense recalls Dune Head and Heels Boots. “The risk associated with the product is that of injury. Due to a manufacturing fault, some products may contain an exposed nail which could cause injury when worn. “The brand is Dune. The model is Head and Heels boots. The affected products are black heeled boots marked with ‘Dune’ and ‘Head & Heels’ on the sole and insert respectively, in knee-height and ankle-height varieties.
“The affected products were available for purchase in October 2022.”
The affected boots will have these product codes shown on the price sticker and receipt: 328003, 328047, 328050, 328070, 328100, 817084.
