Mothercare recalls baby bouncer over safety fears

Mothercare has recalled one of its baby bouncers over fears that a flaw could pose a safety risk to children using it.

Tests on the Babymoov Swoon Up Bouncer have found that there is a risk of the product’s central screw coming loose, making the bouncer’s seat unstable.
