A Running List of Dangerous High Chair and Booster Seat Recalls

On average, more than 100 toys and kids products are recalled each year due to defect. Last year, however, high chairs and booster seats didn’t crack the list. Not one chair was recalled. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for 2018, which has already seen two recalls of defective chairs in the first three months: the Skip Hop Tuo and the Graco Table2Table 6-in-1. Both have unstable legs.

In almost all cases, high chairs are recalled for one of two reasons: 1. They can fall over; or 2. The child can tumble out. Regardless of what part on the chair isn’t working properly, the danger posed to babies is almost always a falling hazard. Fortunately, high chair fixes are often easy and require little more than a repair kit and new part. The chair may be out of order temporarily, but rarely does it need to be returned to the store.

According to multiple government agencies who keep tabs on safety recalls ⏤ most prominently the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which has jurisdiction over more than 15,000 kinds of consumer products ⏤ there have been six high chairs or booster seats recalled in the last three years. Since chairs and boosters tend to have a long life, or get pulled back into service with a new baby after some time in the basement, we’ve included them all on this list ⏤ just in case. Here are the ones you need to watch out for.

Note: If you have a problem with a dangerous product or a product-related injury, you should report it to SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC’s Hotline at 800-638-2772.
