Majestic High Chairs
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Plastic caps and metal screws on both sides of the high chair can loosen and fall out, allowing the seatback to suddenly fall back or detach from the high chair. Children can fall backwards or fall out of the high chair and suffer bumps and bruises to the head, broken bones, abrasions, cuts and bruises. Detached hardware also poses a choking hazard to children.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Choking hazard from small parts.
