Infant highchairs recalled over 'risk of serious injury or death'
SUMMARY: The Bugaboo Giraffe highchair, retailing over $400, was recalled due to a dangerous defect causing serious injuries like falls, hematomas, facial bruising, and temporary unconsciousness.

Parents reported incidents on SaferProducts.gov, Reddit, and Amazon, criticizing both product safety and Bugaboo’s slow customer service. Bugaboo urges users to stop using the chair and offers a free repair kit with redesigned screws and instructions but no refunds. Consumer Reports criticized the lack of refunds, while over 20,000 units in the U.S. and Canada have been recalled.

Postpartum depression in dads | What to watch for
SUMMARY: Father’s Mental Health Day follows Father’s Day on June 16, highlighting paternal postpartum depression (PPD), which affects 1 in 10 dads—and up to 1 in 2 if the mother also suffers from it. Dr. David Levine, a pediatrician and father, shared his silent struggle, emphasizing that only 2.5% of affected fathers seek help. Unlike mothers, men often show irritability, anger, or withdrawal rather than sadness or anxiety. Many internalize their feelings, making it hard to recognize symptoms. Spouses may be key to noticing signs. Resources like anonymous expert chats are available at postpartum.net to help fathers access support.
Father’s Day is June 15. Some fathers face mental health obstacles. Learn more about it in a conversation with a doctor.
