CPSC Recalls Graco Harmony Highchairs

The Consumer Protection and Safety Commission announced today that in conjunction with Graco Children's Products Inc., of Atlanta, Ga., they are recalling about 1.2 million Graco Harmony™ High Chairs. The highchairs are being recalled due to two problems, the screws in the front legs of the chairs can come loose, or the plastic brackets on the back legs can crack, both causing the chair to unexpectedly tip over. Graco has received 464 reports of screws loosening/falling out and/or plastic brackets cracking.

This recall includes all Harmony™ High Chairs. The Graco highchair was manufactured from November 2003 through December 2009 and is no longer in production. The model number can be found on the label that is located on the underside of the foot rest. The model numbers included in the recall are as follows:
