Inglesina
USA Inc. Announces Recall of Chain Saws and Child Table Seats
Inglesina USA Inc., of
Montclair, N.J., is voluntarily recalling about 780 child table seats. The
seats were sold without a seat belt, posing a risk to children who climb out of
the seat. Inglesina USA has received one report of a 10-month- old girl who
fell from a table seat, and bruised her back.
The
recalled table seat has a metal frame with a fabric cover, and connects to the
edge of a table to allow a child to sit and eat at the table. The table seat
does not have legs; instead, it is suspended in the air by clamps that connect
to the underside of the table. The chairs come in blue and yellow and have the
name "Inglesina" printed on the arms and the back of the seat.
Department stores and toy stores sold the Table Chair from June 2000 through
May 2001 for about $50.
Consumers should immediately stop using the seats and call Inglesina USA
toll-free at (877) 486-5112 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday,
to receive a replacement or a full refund.
