The voluntary recall is due to a potential manufacturing weakness in the front wheel fork that could pose a safety risk if it cracks.

FAQ's
Why is Orange being recalled?
What does it mean by ‘voluntary recall’? Does this mean I don’t have to send my pushchair back?
A voluntary recall means that, as a business, we have decided to proactively remove the Orange 4 from the market due to a safety concern. This is not a mandatory recall, which is a recall enforced by regulatory authorities, requiring a company to remove a product from the market.
How can I tell if my pushchair is affected?
If you purchased an iCandy Orange 4 between March 2024 and now, or have a repaired front end on any Orange model with fixed front wheels, your pushchair is affected.
What should I do if my pushchair is affected?
If you have purchased an iCandy Orange 4 between March 2024 and present date, or you are an Orange 1/2 or 3 owner with a repaired front end featuring fixed front wheels instead of quick-release wheels, we urge you to stop using it immediately and follow the steps below:

Will there be any visible difference, or colour, between the current and ‘new’ forks?
There will be a small [2mm approx.] identification mark on the new forks

As a result of our investigation, we strongly recommend that you discontinue use immediately and contact iCandy Customer Services qualityassurance@icandyuk.com.
My pushchair was a gift and/or I do not have any form of proof of purchase, what do I do, can I still get the forks replaced?
Yes. You will need to contact iCandy Customer Services with your pushchair’s serial and batch number which can be found on the basket bar, underneath the basket fabric. See point 5 above.
Will it cost me anything to get the forks replaced?
No. All costs, including carriage will be covered by iCandy.
Will I be offered any compensation?
No. However, your statutory rights remain unaffected.

No, this has been identified as an isolated issue that is specific to the Orange.
How are you contacting all the customers who have one of these pushchairs?
iCandy and associated retailers will be reaching out to all customers who have bought an Orange 4 pushchair via phone, email and social media channels.
I no longer have the box. What should I do?
iCandy will provide a replacement box where necessary, free of charge.
Do I need to send the whole product back to you? If not, what shall I send back?
No. If it is easier to just send the chassis (frame and wheels), then that is fine.
