Graco Children’s Products Inc., a unit of Newell Rubbermaid Inc., has issued a recall for 1.2 million high chairs due to complaints of children falling out of the chairs. According to a statement made by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, screws have come loose in the legs, causing the high chairs to tip over.

Needless to say, this issue can cause the child to fall out of the chair, leading to potentially serious injuries. Graco decided to establish the recall after receiving 464 reports of screws loosening or falling out, 24 of these situations leading to injuries ranging from bumps and bruises to the head to a hairline arm fracture.
The recall applies to high chairs made between November 2003 and December 2009. This recall applies to chairs sold at retailers including Wal-Mart, Toys “R” Us, Target, and Burlington Coat Factory. Those who have purchased the affected high chairs can order free repair kits by calling (877) 842-3206, or by visiting gracobaby.com.
