Graco Recalls High Chairs
Graco has issued another voluntary recall of high chairs. Approximately 1.2 million of the company’s Harmony high chairs have been recalled due to breakage. The screws that attach the front legs can become loose and/or fall out and the rear leg brackets can crack, both causing the high chair to fall.
Graco has received 464 reports of the high chair breaking and tipping over without any injuries. Parents have reported 24 incidents of the high chairs breaking to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) with reports of children suffering from bruises, bumps, scratches, and hairline fractures.
The Harmony high chairs were sold at AAFES, Burlington Coat Factory, Babies “R” Us, Sears, Shopko, Target, Toys “R” Us, USA Baby, Wal-Mart and other retailers including online stores from December 2003 until March 2010 for between $70 and $120.
The model number of the high chair can be located under the footrest. Please visit the official Graco web site for a list of model numbers are involved in the recall (http://www.gracobaby.com/SafetyAndRecall/Pages/SafetyAndRecallArticle.aspx?recallID=31&page=SafetyAndRecall).
