Product Recall
Fisher-Price announces worldwide recall of Laugh & Learn Musical Learning
Chair
January 18, 2006
Fisher-Price Inc,
in cooperation with the United States
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC),
is recalling all Fisher-Price
Laugh & Learn Musical
Learning Chair products worldwide. In Canada,
this represents approximately 25,800 Fisher-Price
Laugh & Learn Musical Learning Chair
English products, and 5,700 Fisher-Price
Laugh & Learn Musical Learning Chair
French products.
The reason for the recall is that a child
might become lodged between the seatback
and side table features of the chair, possibly
leading to entrapment of the neck. This
can pose a strangulation hazard to young
children.
Fisher- Price has received three reports
of incidents, including one report of a
slight welt on the neck of child. There
has never been a report of serious injury
or medical treatment associated with the
product.
The Laugh & Learn
Musical Learning Chair is an infant toy
that encourages learning through role-play.
The toy is designed for children ages
12 months through 36 months of age.
The model number is H4609 (English)
and H7168 (French), which
can be found on the underside of the chair
seat.
The chairs were sold at mass merchants
and toy stores across Canada from May 2005
through January 2006 for approximately
$40.
Consumers who purchased
the Laugh & Learn
Musical Learning Chair should stop using
it immediately and contact Fisher-Price toll-free
at 1-866-552-3914 or www.service.fisher-price.com to
order the free repair kit that will contain
a plastic piece that snaps in between the
seatback and side table, preventing the possibility
of entrapment. Instructions will be provided
so the repair can be done quickly and easily
at home.
