CPSC, Playskool Announce Recall to Repair Restraint Bar of
the 1-2-3 High Chair
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Playskool of Pawtucket,
R.I., is offering free replacement restraint bars for about
287,000 of its 1-2-3 High Chairs. The restraint bar can
crack or break off, which may allow a child who is not
secured with the high chair's seat belt to fall from the
chair and be injured.
Playskool has received hundreds of complaints of
cracking and breaking restraint bars and 40 reports of
injuries to children falling from the high chairs. Injuries
primarily involve bumps and bruises; one child sustained a
broken collarbone.
The plastic restraint bar of the 1-2-3 High Chair is
located at the center of the front of the seat. The high
chair's tray attaches to the restraint bar. Only restraint
bars on Playskool 1-2-3 High Chairs made between May 1995
and May 1996 require replacement. These high chairs have
serial numbers between TX51321 and TX61442. The serial
number is on a label on the back of the seat of the high
chair.
The Playskool 1-2-3 High Chair is available nationwide
at discount juvenile product and department stores for about
$65.
To receive a free replacement restraint bar, consumers
must call Playskool at 1-800-752-9755 for a free replacement
restraint bar or write to the company at PO Box 200, Pawtucket, RI 02862-0200. Consumers should not return the high
chairs to retailers.
CPSC and Playskool remind consumers that seat belts
should always be fastened whenever a child is in any high
chair.
