CPSC, Peg Perego USA Announce Recall of High Chairs
01192 · Recalled 2001-07-10 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled high chairs have seats that can be raised or lowered, and a lever on the back of the chair that allows the seat to be tilted back. The recalled chairs are the "Prima Pappa," "Roller," and "Martinelli Pappa and Nanna." The model names are located on the footrest or the seat back. A sticker on the brace connecting the front leg to the back leg reads, in part, "Peg-Perego" and "Italy." High chairs with 9-inch armrests are not included in this recall.
Hazards
When the seat is reclined, the high chairs have a space between the armrest and backrest, in which a child's head or arm can become entrapped. This can pose a risk of suffocation or injury to the heads or arms of young children.
Reported injuries
Peg Perego and CPSC have received 51 reports of entrapment, when children placed their heads or arms in the space between the armrest and backrest. Two children suffered scratches to the head, one had a bruised arm, and another had a scratched arm. There have not been any reports of suffocation.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the high chairs immediately. Consumers should call Peg Perego to receive free replacement armrests that will eliminate the entrapment hazard. Consumers should not return the high chair to the store where purchased.
