Graco recalls 36,000 high chairs for potential fall hazard
by Michelle Stein posted in Products
On March 2, Graco announced a recall of roughly 36,000 high chairs (along with 3,200 sold in Canada) because of a potential fall hazard. This recall involves Graco Table2Table 6-in-1 highchairs, models which are sold exclusively at Walmart, according to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC.)
Apparently the highchair's rear legs can pivot out of position, causing the chair to become unstable -- which in turn poses a fall hazard to a child in the highchair. In fact, a total of 38 reports of the rear leg doing just this have been received by Graco so far. This includes five injuries to children who sustained bumps and bruises because the high chair fell over while they were in it.
Product description This recall involves Graco Table2Table? 6-in-1 highchairs with model number 1969721. Affected models were sold for about $100 between October 2016 and December 2017 at Walmart stores across the nation. This 6-in-1 highchair converts to six different modes, including a traditional highchair, a booster seat and toddler chair and table. The highchair?s cushion is white with gold and gray polka dots. The model number is printed on a label on the underside of the toddler seat and on a label on the back of the booster seat. Graco and Table2Table highchair are also printed on the label on the underside of the toddler seat.
