High Chair Recall

Our Atlanta product liability lawyers see many cases involving defective products which cause injury. None are more disturbing than those involving children. There have been 24 reported injuries of children involving Graco Harmony highchairs. In an effort to avoid further injuries Graco Children’s Products announced Thursday that it is recalling 1.2 million Harmony highchairs because of stability issues.
The company makes car seats, strollers, swings and other products for kids. It reported that that its Harmony highchairs can be unstable and tip over. The highchair model, was produced from 2003 to 2009 and retailed for $70 to $120. The chairs were sold at Target, Toys R Us and Wal-Mart.
The company blamed the problem on screws holding the front legs of the highchair which can loosen and fall out, and a plastic bracket on the rear legs which can crack, presenting a hazard to children.
