About 35,000 convertible high chairs have been recalled due to fall hazards.

What's the Deal?

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Evenflo Inc., of Miamisburg, Ohio, has recalled about 35,000 convertible high chairs. The activity tray on the high chair can unexpectedly detach and allow an unrestrained child to fall, posing a risk of injury to the child.

Evenflo has received 18 reports of trays that detached, including eight reports of children who fell from the high chair and sustained bumps and bruises.

Do You Own It?

This recall involves Evenflo high chairs that convert from a high chair to toddler-size table and chair. The convertible high chair can be identified by the model names and numbers listed below. Model numbers are located on a label on the lower portion of one of the high chair's legs.

• Dottie Lime—29111259
• Dottie Rose—29111271
• Marianna—29111234

The convertible high chairs sold at Toys R Us and Wal-Mart stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com and Wayfair.com between December 2011 and June 2012 for about $40.
