TOMY is recalling nearly 85,000 Boon Flair & Flair Elite high chairs.
Boon Flair and Flair Elite high chairs — sold at Bed, Bath & Beyond, Target and Toys ‘R’ Us stores nationwide, online through Amazon, Target, Walmart and Bed, Bath & Beyond — are being recalled, the Consumer Safety Commission of the product was announced on Thursday.
The recall, which affects 17 individual models, comes after the manufacturer learned that the screws used to secure the seat of the recalled high chair to the stand could loosen and allow the seat to detach, posing a fall hazard. The model number and production date code are printed on a label located under the base of the high chair.
