A baby chair is being recalled after numerous injuries were reported due to a malfunction.
Health Canada issued a notice on August 19th recalling the “meeto” clip-on chair, manufactured in China for New Zealand company phil&ted's.
The chair can detach from the table or other surface due to worn or missing clamps, posing a risk of falls and injury. In addition, the user instructions are inadequate, the release said.
There have been no reports of injury in Canada , but the company has received 19 reports of the chair falling, including five injuries, in the U.S.
About 5,000 of the chairs were sold in Canada
