Hazardous Highchairs Recalled By Fisher-Price
The Pennsylvania product liability lawyers at Reiff and Bily alert you in conjunction with the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission in cooperation with Fisher-Price that a voluntary recall has been made of 3-in-1 high chairs manufactured by Fisher-Price. The product is 3-in-1 highchairs. Approximately 24,000 units are involved in the recall. The importer is Fisher-Price of East Aurora, New York. The noted hazard is that the seat can fall backwards from the highchair frame if the booster seat release is unlatched while the child is in the product. Also, the seat back can detach if not fully snapped in place posing a fall hazard and risk to young children. Reports of seat back detachment and child falling out resulted in a skull fracture according to sources. This product was sold exclusively at Target department stores nationwide from December 8, 2008 through March, 2009 for approximately $100. Consumers should stop using the recalled high chairs immediately and contact Fisher-Price for instructions and a free repair kit at 1-800-432-5437 anytime or visit the firm’s Web site at http://service.mattel.com/us.
