WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – TOMY has recalled thousands of highchairs due to 24 falls resulting in 11 injuries such as bruising or scratches.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the bolts used to secure the seat of the recalled highchair to the pedestal base can become loose and allow the seat to detach, posing a fall hazard. About 83,000 chairs are impacted.
The recall involves Boon Flair highchairs manufactured before September 2016 and all Boon Flair Elite highchairs. The model numbers of the recalled highchairs are listed below. The model number and manufacturing date code are printed on a label located under the base of the highchair.
