Reason for Recall
Recline fasteners and metal screws on both sides of the high chair can loosen and fall out, allowing the seatback to detach or recline unexpectedly. Children can fall backwards or fall out of the high chair and suffer bumps and bruises to the head, abrasions, cuts and bruises. Detached hardware also poses a choking hazard to children.
Action Taken
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled high chairs and contact Evenflo to receive a free repair kit.
