Breaking News: Highchair Recall Issued for Fall Hazard
More than 85,000 highchairs sold across North America are being recalled due to a safety issue that has resulted in injuries, according to federal regulators.
TOMY International Inc., a well-known toy and nursery product company, is recalling approximately 83,000 Boon Flair and Flair Elite Highchairs in the U.S. and another 2,850 in Canada.
The recall is due to a defect in the highchairs’ bolts, which may cause the seats to detach. So far, there have been 34 reports of the chairs separating from the base, leading to 24 falls and 11 injuries, including bruising and scratches.
The highchairs were sold in-person and online at major retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Toys ‘R’ Us, Amazon, and Walmart. The affected “Flair” highchairs were sold from 2008 to 2009, while the “Flair Elite” models were sold from 2008 to 2017.
To check if your highchair is affected, you can find the model number and manufacturing date on the official recall website. All recalled highchairs, available in various colors, were manufactured in China before 2016.
If you have one of the affected highchairs, it is important to stop using it immediately. TOMY advises customers not to return the highchair but instead contact the company for a free repair kit.
TOMY ensures that customers will receive a set of bolts and washers to fix their highchairs.
