What's being recalled
Babyjoy Convertible 6-in-1 High Chair Activity Centers
Units: About 1,400
This recall involves Babyjoy 6-in-1 Convertible High Chair Activity Centers. They were sold in beige (model BB5693YW) and gray (model BB5693GR). The high chair activity centers have a removable adjustable tray, a removable seat cushion, adjustable-height legs and a mesh storage pocket. The seat padding in the stationary, swiveling, activity center mode is white with multicolored dots. "Babyjoy" is printed on the front of the removable tray. "Goplus Corp." is printed on a label located on the back of the seat. The model number is on the product packaging.
The problem, in CPSC's words
The recalled high chair activity centers violate the federal regulations for high chairs and stationary activity centers. The high chair activity centers pose a deadly entrapment hazard because the leg openings in the seat of the stationary activity center are too wide and a child can become entrapped in it, which is a violation of the federal regulation for stationary activity centers. In addition, the tray can disengage and a child can fall, which is a violation of the federal regulation for high chairs, posing a serious injury hazard.
