WASHINGTON – Baby-equipment-maker Cosco is recalling about 1 million high chairs for infants and toddlers after receiving 57 reports of children being injured when their seats collapsed or restraints gave way.
The Columbus, Ind.-based company has received 168 reports of incidents involving the high chairs’ seats or restraints, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Monday. Among those hurt were 12 children monitored for head injuries and others who suffered swollen eyes, bloody noses and lips, bumps and bruises. Two suffered slight concussions.
The recalled chairs have model number 03-286 and a four-digit manufacture date from Dec. 1, 1997, through Aug. 11, 2000.
The safety commission advises consumers to stop using these high chairs immediately.
