Costway Recalls Babyjoy High Chairs Due to Entrapment and Suffocation Hazards; Ban on Inclined Sleepers and Violation of Federal Regulations for High Chairs
What's being recalled
Babyjoy High Chairs
Units: About 4,400
This recall involves all Costway's Babyjoy high chairs. The collapsible high chairs were sold in pink (model BB5656PI), beige (model BB5656BE) and gray (model BB5656GR), and have a footrest, a detachable tray, pink or gray or beige seat cushion with stars, and four static wheels with locks. The high chair can be adjusted for different heights and recline positions. "Babyjoy" is printed on the front of the detachable tray. "Goplus Corp." is printed on a label located on the back of the high chair's seat. The model number appears on the product packaging.
The problem, in CPSC's words
The recalled high chairs pose a fatal suffocation risk because they were marketed, intended, or designed for infant sleep, and they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the federal Safe Sleep for Babies Act. In addition, the high chair poses a deadly entrapment hazard because the opening between the seat and tray is large enough that a child can become entrapped in it, which is a violation of the federal regulations for high chairs.
