What’s wrong with it?
IF CLIPS BROKE DURING ORDINARY USAGE, CLIPS (OR BROKEN PIECES) COULD POSE A CHOKING RISK TO THE CHILD WHO ATTEMPTED TO SWALLOW THE CLIP OR PIECES OF A CLIP.
THE POLYPROPELENE FASTENERS (CANOE CLIP) USED TO ATTACH THE SEATS MAY CONTAIN HAIRLINE BREAKS OR WEAKNESSES THAT COULD CAUSE THE CLIP TO BREAK.

- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
