(WHTM)– The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced that TOMY has recalled its Boon Flair and Flair Elite Highchairs due to a fall hazard.
According to the commission, the bolts that secure the seat of the recalled highchair to the pedestal base can become loose and allow the seat to detach. They pose a fall hazard.
The recalled highchairs were sold nationwide at Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Toys ‘R’ Us, and other stores. They were also sold online at Amazon.com, Target.com, Walmart.com, and BedBathAndBeyond.com.
The recall includes Boon Flair highchairs manufactured before September 2016 and all Boon Flair Elite highchairs. The Flair Elite highchair has a white and orange molded plastic seat with a white tray and metal pedestal base.
The Flair highchairs have a gray plastic pedestal base and were sold in 10 color combinations: blue/white, white/orange, pink/white, green/white, gray/green, white, gray, white/gray, white/blue, and red/white
