TOMY is recallingnearly 85,000 Boon Flair & Flair Elite highchairs.
The recall, impacting 17 individual models, comes after the manufacturer learned the bolts used to secure the seat of the recalled highchair to the pedestal base can become loose and allow the seat to detach, posing a fall hazard. The model number and manufacturing date code are printed on a label located under the base of the highchair.
