The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling 3-in-1 Fisher-Price high chairs because the seat can fall backward from the frame if the booster seat release is unlatched while the child is seated.
Also, the seat back can detach if not fully snapped in place, posing a fall hazard and a risk of serious injury to young children.
The recall involves the 3-in-1 High Chair to Booster, which converts from a high chair to a toddler booster seat. It includes a removable tray, height adjustment and folds for storage. The product number (P5369) is printed on the side of the seat, on a label on the seat pad and on the product’s packaging.
Consumers should stop using the high chairs immediately and contact Fisher-Price for instructions and a free repair kit.
About 24,000 of the chairs were sold at Target stores across the United States from December 2008 through March 2009 for about $100 US.
