  • Brand phil&teds USA Inc, of Fort Collins, Co.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Phil&teds USA is recalling table-top clip-on chairs designed for infants and toddlers because missing or worn clamp pads can allow the chairs to detach from tables, creating a fall hazard for children. When the chair detaches, children's fingers can become caught between the bar and clamping mechanism, posing an amputation hazard. The chairs have nylon fabric seats in red, black, or navy and clamp onto tables using metal vise clamps. Chairs subject to the recall lack black plastic spacers between the cross bar and clamps. Additionally, the user instructions for these chairs are inadequate and may increase the likelihood of misuse.

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact phil&teds USA to receive a free repair kit and revised user instructions. Consumers who previously received a repair kit containing only rubber boots should also stop using the chair and contact the company for the new repair kit.
