It seems that over the past few months, more and more products intended for infants and small children have been recalled due to increasing safety concerns. While it’s always advisable to err on the side of caution with these products, all of these recalls can lead to a decrease in the trust that consumers will place on almost any product of this kind. Now comes word that an enormous recall of high chairs has been initiated.
According to WPTV in Florida:
“The government is announcing a recall of some 1.2 million high chairs, saying they pose a fall hazard to children.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the voluntary recall today involving a high chair made by Graco Children’s Products of Atlanta.
The regulatory agency says “screws holding the front legs of the high chair can loosen and fall out,” and says cracking plastic brackets can cause the high chair to “tip over unexpectedly.” Tip-overs have resulted in 24 reports of injuries including bumps and bruises to the head, a hairline fracture to the arm, and cuts, bumps and bruises and scratches to the body.
