What’s wrong with it?
A missing screw can cause the chain brake to fail to operate, presenting a laceration hazard to consumers. The seats were sold without a seat belt, posing a risk to children who climb out of the seat.

Which ones are recalled?
The recalled chain saws are model number 019T with serial numbers 249129398 through 249956311. A label on the chain saw reads in part “STIHL” and “model number 019T.” The serial number is imprinted on the front of the chain saw. 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.
About 1,000 chain saws and 780 child table seats units, as CPSC gives them.
