About 35,000 Safety 1st wooden highchairs are being recalled following dozens of reports of problems where children were able to remove the table trays, resulting in almost a number of injuries after infants fell from the highchair. 

The Safety 1st Décor wooden highchair recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on October 8, following at least 68 incident reports indicating children were able to remove the highchair trays. The reports indicate that 11 children suffered abrasions, chipped teeth, and lacerations, with some requiring medical attention.

The CPSC and Safety 1st are urging customers to stop using the highchairs immediately, as the chairs pose a serious injury hazard risk to children if are able to remove the tray table and fall.
