Table top feeding chairs deemed unsafe by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in May have been recalled. Approximately 54,000 phil&teds "metoo" clip-on chairs pose a fall and amputation hazard because the clamp pads on the chair that are missing or worn can cause the chair to detach from a variety of different table surfaces. When the chair detaches, children's fingers can then be caught between the bar and clamping mechanism, posing the amputation hazard.
At the time of the recall, 19 reports of the chair falling had been received; two resulting in injury where children's fingers were severely pinched, lacerated, crushed or amputated. Consumers should immediately stop using the product.
The "metoo" chairs have been sold at nationwide retailers such as Target and Toys R Us as well as online and through a variety of independent juvenile specialty stores from May 2006 to May 2011 for between $40 and $50.
