High Chair Bars

Playskool is offering free replacement restraint bars for about 287,000 of its 1-2-3 High Chairs. The restraint bar can crack or break off , which may allow a child who is not secured with the high chair's seat belt to fall from the chair and be injured. Playskool has received hundreds of complaints of cracking and breaking restraint bars and 40 reports of injuries to children falling from the high chairs. (Only restraint bars made between May 1995 and May 1996 require replacement.) Consumers should not return the high chairs to retailers. To receive a free replacement restraint bar, consumers must call Playskool at 1-800-555-0428.
