Plastic caps and metal screws located on both sides of the chair can loosen and unexpectedly fall out. Such an incident will cause the seatback to fall back or detach completely from the high chair. Children sitting in the seat at that time can fall out or collide with other objects and suffer numerous injuries. Detached caps and screws also pose a potential choking hazard to small children.
Evenflo has received more than 1,000 reports of plastic caps and screws falling out of the high chair and 140 reports of the seatback reclining, falling or detaching. Of the 140 seat failure reports almost 100 reports indicated injuries from bumps, bruises, cuts, abrasions and broken bones.
Only high chairs manufactured before January 23, 2007 are affected by the recall. If you own this chair stop using it immediately and contact Evenflo for a free repair kit.
