BabyHome USA High Chairs Due to Strangulation Hazard
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The front opening between the tray and seat bottom of the high chair can allow a child's body to pass through and become entrapped at the neck. This poses a strangulation hazard to young children when the child is not harnessed.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Strangulation risk.
