Cosco Recalling Infant High Chairs

Tue., Nov. 28, 2000

From Staff

Baby-equipment-maker Cosco is recalling about 1 million high chairs for infants and toddlers after receiving 57 reports of children being injured when their seats collapsed or restraints gave way.

The Columbus, Ind.-based company has received 168 reports of incidents involving the high chairs’ seats or restraints, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Monday.

The recalled chairs have model number 03-286 and a four-digit manufacture date from Dec. 1, 1997, through Aug. 11, 2000. Both numbers are printed on the bottom of the seat.

The safety commission advises consumers to stop using these high chairs immediately, and order a free repair kit from Cosco by calling 1-800-221-6736 between 5 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. PST Monday through Friday or visiting its Web site at http://www.coscoinc.com/ services/servfram.html.
