Evenflo High Chair Recall: What You Need to Know


The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of all Evenflo Envision High Chairs. The chairs could put children in danger, the organization says.

Evenflo High Chair Recall: The Problem

The Evenflo Envision High Chairs have fasteners and metal screws that can loosen on their own and then fall out, the CPSC indicates. As a result, the back of the seat could fall back or even detach altogether without notice, causing a child to fall backwards or fall from the chair completely. What’s more, the fallen fasters and screws could pose a choking hazard.

So far, Evenflo reports receiving more than 300 reports of such incidents occurring. Nineteen children have suffered bumped or bruised heads, while a few dozen others have been hurt in other ways.
