PandaEar Recalls Portable Hook-On Chairs Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Fall Hazard; Violates Mandatory Standard for Portable Hook-On Chairs

What's being recalled

This recall involves two models of PandaEar portable hook-on chairs. The chairs are used to seat young children at the dining table. The chairs contain a black or gray metal frame covered with black, gray, or blue (dinosaur theme) polyester and cotton material and an attached restraint in the occupant seating area. There are two metal arms with plastic covers on top that anchor to a dining table, and the child is suspended from the table. "Panda Ear" can be found on a label stitched to the side of the fabric seats. "Model C2102" can be found on a label located on the bottom of the fabric seats. There are no markings on the product for model BTC-51.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The recalled portable hook-on chairs violate the mandatory standard for portable hook-on chairs because the crotch restraints can be removed without the use of a tool and infants can fall through an opening, posing a deadly fall hazard.
