Models showing a year of manufacture of 2009 in red ink are not included in the recall.

Reason for Recall

Plastic caps and metal screws on both sides of the high chair can loosen and fall out, allowing the seatback to suddenly fall back or detach from the high chair. Children can fall backwards or fall out of the high chair and suffer bumps and bruises to the head, broken bones, abrasions, cuts and bruises. Detached hardware also poses a choking hazard to children.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled high chairs and contact Evenflo to receive a free repair kit.
