Fisher Price High Chairs Among Dangerous Products Recalled This Week
Fisher Price High Chairs Recall Due To Fall Hazard. High chairs, pacifiers and trampolines are all being recalled because of serious hazards, according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC). In some cases, these dangerous products have injured children.
Fisher Price 3-in-1 High Chair to Booster Seats
Fisher Price is recalling about 24,000 3-in-1 High Chair to Booster seats that pose a fall hazard to children. According to the recall notice, the seat of the Fisher Price high chair can fall backwards from the high chair frame if the booster seat release is unlatched while the child is in the product. Also, the seat back can detach if not fully snapped in place, posing a fall hazard and risk of serious injury to young children. Fisher Price has received one report of a seat back detaching and a child falling out, resulting in a skull fracture.
This recall involves the 3-in-1 High Chair to Booster seats, which converts from a high chair to a toddler booster seat. It includes a removable tray, height adjustment and folds for storage. The product number (P5369) is printed on the side of the seat, on a label on the seat pad, and on the product's packaging. The recalled high chairs were sold at Target stores nationwide from December 2008 through March 2009 for about $100.

Baby Necessities Pacifiers
OKK Trading has recalled 2,900 Baby Necessities pacifiers that are banned under federal law. According to the recall notice, the Baby Necessities pacifiers failed federal safety tests when the nipples separated from the base. This poses a choking hazard to young children. The CPSC was alerted to this hazard by the State of Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection.
The recalled Baby Necessities pacifiers were sold at Dollar and discount stores nationwide from August 2007 through January 2009 for about $1. This recall involves Baby Necessities pacifiers with a blue heart-shaped mouth guard. The pacifiers were sold four to a pack. The words "Baby Necessities" are printed on the cardboard packaging.
