RETAILER ARGOS has issued an urgent alert for five child car safety seats it has been selling in Donegal.
The company says parents should immediately stop using certain child car seats because of fears over their safety.
The warning affects five types of seats from the expensive Mamas & Papas range.
There are concerns that if there was a crash, the models’ shells could crack and they might not be able to protect youngsters.
In a statement, Argos said: “We have identified a potential safety concern.
“In the event of an accident the car seat shell may crack and therefore not provide the intended level of protection to the user.”
The retailer is offering a full refund to customers, saying: “If you have purchased any of the seats, you should immediately stop using the product and return the car seat to your local Argos store for a full refund.
“We wish to thank you for your co-operation and apologise for any inconvenience caused by this recall.”
If people have any questions they can contact the Argos customer service team on 1800535091.

:: Mamas & Papas Mercury Group 1 Black (Argos catalogue number 297/7526).
:: Mamas & Papas Mercury Group 1 Grey (Argos catalogue number 411/9100).
