Washington (CNN) -- Reports of children
falling from a popular high chair prompted the federal government to issue a
recall Tuesday. Officials say Evenflo's convertible high chair tray can detach
unexpectedly, causing kids to fall out.
The recall involves Evenflo high chairs that
convert from high chair to toddler-size table and chair, the Consumer Product
Safety Commission said.
There have been 18 reports of the tray becoming
detached and eight reports of children falling from the high chair, the
commission said. Although there haven't been any reports of serious injury,
some children have gotten bumps and bruises.
Parents are being told to immediately stop using
the high chair and contact Evenflo for a replacement tray.
People who have one of the recalled high chairs can
visit www.safety.evenflo.com
for information on how to order a free replacement tray.
About 35,000 of the chairs were sold from December
until the recall at Toys "R" Us and Walmarts nationwide. The chairs
were also sold through Wayfair.com and Walmart.com.
It was manufactured in China, and the model numbers
include 29111259, 29111271 and 29111234. Consumers can find the model number on
the label of the high chair's leg.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is continuing to investigate and
is asking consumers to share dangers they've encountered at SaferProducts.gov.
