The highchairs were manufactured from October 27, 2005 through November 22, 2006. The model number and manufacturing date are printed underneath the snack tray of these highchairs.

Hazards

The highchair can collapse if it is not fully opened and locked into place from the storage position prior to use. If the highchair collapses, a child occupying the highchair can be injured.

Reported injuries

The firm has received 18 reports of the highchair collapsing. There has been one report of an 18-month-old who suffered a bruise on his foot. Additionally, there have been two reports of the highchair collapsing outside of the United States.

Remedy

Consumers should contact the firm to obtain instructions on how to receive a free repair kit. Consumers can continue to use the highchair until the repair kit is received but must make sure it is fully opened first. Consumers should open the highchair until they hear a "click", which indicates the hub is locked into place.
