Costway Recalls Babyjoy High Chairs Due to Entrapment and Suffocation Hazards; Ban on Inclined Sleepers and Violation of Federal Regulations for High Chairs

Issue & Risk

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.
