CPSC Recalls About 1.2 Million Graco High Chairs Due to Fall Hazard

On March 18, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of about 1.2 million Graco Harmony™ High Chairs. Consumers should immediately stop using the high chairs.

The screws holding the front legs of the high chair can loosen and fall out and/or the plastic bracket on the rear legs can crack causing the high chair to become unstable and tip- over unexpectedly. This poses a fall hazard to children.

Graco has received 464 reports of screws loosening/falling out and/or plastic brackets cracking causing the high chair to tip over unexpectedly. These tip-overs resulted in 24 reports of injuries, including bumps and bruises to the head, a hairline fracture to the arm, and cuts, bumps, bruises and scratches to the body.

The high chairs were sold at AAFES, Burlington Coat Factory, Babies "R" Us, Toys "R" Us, Sears, Target, Target.com, Walmart, WalMart.com, Shopko, USA Baby, and other retailers nationwide from December of 2003 through March of 2010 for between $70 and $120.
