Table Top Feeding Chairs Unsafe, Says CPSC

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned that versions of the “metoo” clip-on table top chairs sold by phil&teds USA Inc. are unsafe.  The chairs have metal clamps that attach to most table tops, such as a restaurant table.  Those clamps can easily come loose, causing the chair to detach resulting in the child falling to the floor.

The agency says that fingers or hands can also be pinched or crushed when the chairs partially detach from a table, catching a child's fingers or hands between the clamp and a metal bar on the front of the chair.

                                                                                                                            

The CPSC says about a dozen children have been injured while using the chair, but the company refused to issue a recall that was acceptable to the commission.  The "metoo" chairs have been sold at nationwide retailers such as Target and Toys R Us as well as online.
