CPSC Recall in 2009: IKEA Recalls LEOPARD Highchairs Due to Fall and Choking Hazards
See the recall details below. You can also see similar information for other consumer product recalls in 2009.
This recall involves all colors of the LEOPARD highchairs sold as a seat and a frame individually. The seat and tray has an adhesive label affixed to the underside with the words LEOPARD and "Made in Italy," an eight-digit article number and a five-digit supplier number (19589).
The snap locks used to secure the seat to the frame can break and allow the seat and child to drop through the frame, posing a fall hazard to young children. Detached snap locks can pose a choking hazard to young children.
