Dream On Me High Chairs Due to Strangulation Hazard
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The front openings between the tray and seat bottom and on the side openings of the high chair between the armrest and seat bottom can allow a child's body to pass through and become entrapped at the neck. This poses a strangulation hazard to young children if the belt is not engaged. In addition, exposed springs between the seat and armrest on both sides of the high chair can create a pinch hazard to the child.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Strangulation risk.
