Graco® Contempo™ Highchairs and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission have issued a recall for 100,000 highchairs because of a potential collapsing hazard. According to the company and the government agency, there have been 18 reports to date of the chairs collapsing with a child in them. Several resulted in minor injuries and seem to occur if the chair is not fully opened and locked into place.
The Contempo™ highchairs have an “A” frame design. The highchairs feature six height adjustment positions and three recline positions. The recalled highchairs have model numbers that begin with 3800, 3803, 3804, 3805, 3810 and 3811 followed by a three letter fashion code. Model numbers included in the recall include: 3800COU, 3800DRB, 3800FMT, 3800GGG, 3800GRM, 3800HEM, 3800JEN, 3800LEG, 3800MNS, 3800OWD, 3800SND, 3800TFE, 3800RIT, 3803HRL, 3804CNR, 3805BDA, 3810PEW, 3810PST and 3811PST. The highchairs were manufactured from October 27, 2005 through November 22, 2006. The model number and manufacturing date are printed underneath the snack tray of these highchairs.
The company is offering consumers a free repair kit. The company also advises consumers that they can continue using the chair but not to place a child in the chair until the chair is fully opened and a clicking sound is heard.
