Evenflo 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, posing both fall and choking hazards to children. Plastic caps and screws that become loose and fall out can cause the seatback to suddenly fall back or detach from the high chair. Children can fall out or collide with objects and suffer broken bones, abrasions, cuts and bruises. Detached plastic caps and metal screws also pose a choking hazard to children.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Choking hazard from small parts.
