IKEA Recalls LEOPARD Highchairs Due to Fall and Choking Hazards
10089 · Recalled 2009-12-22 · CPSC page
Description
This recall involves all colors of the LEOPARD highchairs sold as a seat and a frame individually. The seat has an adhesive label affixed to the underside with the words LEOPARD and "Made in Italy," an eight-digit article number and a five-digit supplier number (19589).
Hazards
The snap locks used to secure the seat to the frame can break and allow the seat and child to drop through the frame, posing a fall hazard to young children. Detached snap locks can pose a choking hazard to young children.
Reported injuries
IKEA has received 11 reports worldwide of failing snap locks, including one report of a child falling through the frame and suffering bruised legs. In addition, the firm has one report of a child mouthing a detached snap lock. No incidents have been reported in the United States.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the highchairs and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund.
