Reason for Recall
The chair's safety lock can fail, allowing the chair to collapse or fold unexpectedly. Children's fingers can become caught or entrapped in the hinge and slot areas of the chair, posing a pinch or cut hazard. This can cause severe lacerations and fingertip amputations to children's fingers.
Action Taken
The firm is out of business, the remedy is no longer available, and the product should be discarded or destroyed.
