Chicco has recalled approximately 455,000 Polly high chairs in the United States (and 30,000 in Canada) because children can fall against storage pegs on the back legs. These high chairs feature a folding metal frame and a reclining seat. There have been 21 reports of children falling against the pegs, resulting in injuries such as scratches, bruises, and four lacerations that required medical stitches or glue. These chairs were sold nationwide at major retailers like Babies R Us and Amazon between January 2005 and July 2012. Consumers can receive a free repair kit to cover the hazardous pegs.
The storage pegs located on the rear legs of the high chair protrude in a way that poses a bruising or laceration hazard if a child falls against them. One reported incident included a scratched cornea from contact with the peg.
Consumers should contact Chicco for a free peg cover kit which will be mailed to them. To help prevent injuries before repair, consumers should store the tray on the pegs when the high chair is not in use.
