Child Seating and
High Chair Dangers and Defects |
|
| According to a 2003 Consumer
Product Safety Commission study, child seating
poses many dangers to children. A child may fall
backwards out of a high chair, a body part may
get caught or cut on a high chair, restraints may
fail to secure the child, or the chair may be unstable
and lead to tip-overs. |
- Graco Children's Products Bumble Bee
Toys with Blue Antennae
In January 2004, Graco Children's Products,
Inc. of Exton, Pennsylvania, voluntarily
recalled about 398,000 Bumble Bee Toys
with blue antennae sold with certain Graco
high chairs and Graco mobile entertainers,
and also sold separately as an accessory
and replacement part. The blue antennae
on the Bumble Bee toy reportedly could
break, posing a choking hazard to young
children.

In July 2001, Peg Perego USA Inc., of Ft.
Wayne, Indiana, voluntarily recalled about

the high chairs had a space between the armrest
and backrest in which a child's head or arm
reportedly could become entrapped, creating
a suffocation risk.
