Evenflo, Co. announced a voluntary recall of two models of their high chairs today. They are recalling approximately 643,000 Envision high chairs and they have expanded a previous recall of 90,000 Majestic high chairs due to product defects that have led to injuries in young children.
The Envision high chairs were recalled because recline fasteners and metal screws on the sides of the high chair have been falling out, causing the seatback to fall off or recline at inappropriate times. Children have been falling out of the high chair, leading to bumps, bruises, and cuts on their head. Some children have also choked as a result of the detached hardware.
There have been 320 reports of defective Envision high chairs resulting in 19 head injuries and 35 other injuries. The recalled high chairs were sold in stores between December 2002 and April 2006 and include model numbers:
