Reason for Recall
The high chairs are adjustable and have both recline and upright positions. In the recline position, the seats can separate from the frame and fall to the ground. In the upright position, the seats can slip from their set height position to the lowest position or can fall to the ground. Additionally, some seats were sold with a metal restraint anchor that can slip through the back of the seat, allowing the child to fall to the ground. Infants and toddlers can suffer head, face and bodily injuries.
Action Taken
Consumers should stop using these high chairs immediately. Repair kits are no longer available. New cash incentive is being offered or replacement product. Do not use these products. Please discard or destroy these products.
