    The product, in the report: Safety 1st decor wood high chair

    My 20 month old son was eating breakfast in his high chair when he somehow managed to kick off the tray even though it was locked in and fell to the floor hitting his face on the table as he fell. I went online to search the safety features of the chair when I found it had been recalled due to a issue with the tray.

    The product, in the report: Safety 1st wooden high chair with plastic tray that was recalled in 2015 for not locking properly.

    We received the Safety 1st wooden high chair as a gift in early 2015, which we just learned has been recalled due to the tray not locking. Our 18 month old son pushed on the tray which was in the locked position and it came off. He fell with the tray which cut his forehead when it and my son hit the floor. I am livid that this product was allowed to still be sold after the recall was put into effect. I will be seeking compensation.

    The product, in the report: Safety 1st High Chair

    My son fell out of this stupid high chair twice and busted his face. By the time he had reached 20 lbs (which is what he weighed at 6 months old when he was finally old enough to sit up in the high chair), the straps were not long enough to go around him so we were having to put him in without being strapped. We should have returned the damn thing then, but the high chair was a gift and we didn’t know when it had been purchased or where. Twice, he popped the tray off and fell face first out of the thing. The first time he busted his face up pretty well. The second time, i was sitting at the table next to him an literally caught him by the bib before he hit the floor. Since then, the damn thing has been in the garage. I can’t imagine how dangerous this could be or what may have happened to kids sitting in it that were hurt worse than my son.

    As we were having dinner, my son was in his high chair. Thankfully, we always buckle him in. As we were eating, my son pushed forward and the tray table flew off. He was on the verge of falling out. The only thing keeping him in was the buckle. This all happened within seconds. He was not injured just had some very scared and angry parents. Can not believe the tray table flew off so easily!

    My 19mo daughter was sitting in her high chair, I was standing no more than 3 feet away getting her dinner ready to put on her tray. She pushed the tray, she fell, and hit her nose on a nearby chair. She cried and while consoling her I noticed blood rushing out of her nose. I rushed her to the hospital to make sure she wasn’t badly injured, and after X-rays, they concluded that she had a contusion.

    The product, in the report: Safety1st Casablanca Decorative Wood High Chair. Dark wood, green, white, and brown padding. Purchased at Babies R Us for $120.

    To whom this may concern,

    On the morning of Sunday, October 4th, I was feeding my eight month old daughter breakfast in her Safety1st Casablanca High Chair. She was fastened in and the tray was snug and immobile against her stomach. After my daughter was finished eating, I moved the tray foreward one click to gather the remaining puffs that had fallen in the side cracks and down her bib. I was standing less than one foot away from her. My daughter leaned forward to reach for me and the tray abruptly broke off and went crashing to the floor. My baby fell out of the chair restraints and landed on the floor next to the tray. My baby fell head first on our tile floor resulting in a very large contusion on her forehead that was at least half dollar in size. The breath got knocked out of her and she began frantically screaming in pain. We are lucky that she wasn’t knocked unconscious. Her right side landed on the defective tray and the rest of her landed on top of my feet. She also bruised on her right arm, right thigh, and stomach region from landing on the tray. We called our pediatrician and she advised us to seek medical treatment in fear of a possible concussion or internal swelling or bleeding of the brain. We went to the emergency room at Baptist Health Hospital and received medical attention from a team of doctors and nurses. She was given an initial physical exam, a well check, and a CT scan. Thankfully, my daughter had no conclusive evidence of a concussion or swelling in the brain after the results of her CT scan. The physician at the hospital advised us to keep a very watchful eye for additional symptoms that are indicative of a concussion for the next 24 hours. My husband took the day off from work on Monday, October 5th to stay home with our baby and monitor her closely. Luckily, no additional symptoms showed up and her large contusion and bruising began to lighten in color. On Tuesday, October 7th, my local news reported the recall of thousands of safety 1st high chairs because of a tray malfunction that was resulting in chipped teeth and various injuries because children were falling out of this type of high chair. This is the exact model of high chair my baby fell out of, and the very reason she was injured. You must sympathize in the terror and fear that my family went through when our baby fell to the floor and the constant reminder of the incident from the nasty contusion she is wearing on her forehead. There is no possible way a 20 pound baby should be able to move or remove a properly manufactured and securely fastened high chair tray. But she did, and the defective tray injured my child and scared my family to death. I hope your company will consider sending us a new properly inspected and functioning high chair and compensating our medical bills and grievances. We have multiple photos of our daughters contusions and swelling that we are willing to share. My family and I are prepared to pursue legal action to make sure that our requests are met and that my child’s safety is ensured. I pray that no other family or child has to experience this kind of trauma based on a dysfunctional high chair that we invested $120 in.

    Sincerely,

    [REDACTED]

    I have been using the safety first high chair for my 20 month old daughter. She recently learned how to remove the tray and throws it on the ground. One day, she removed the tray and her safety belt and fell face first on the ground. She started crying immediately and I noticed an abrasion to her arm where she hit the table. Later that day I also noticed bruising to the side of her face and leg.

    Incident Description: The Safety 1st Decor Wood High Chair - Casablanca tray slides off the high chair when my 16 month old son leans forward or pushes the tray. Today, my son fell head first out of the high chair, luckily I was there to catch him. In addition, the seat belt unlatched as he fell forward. Before this incident I had been very careful to attach the tray properly. The tray just does not stay attached. I checked the reviews on [REDACTED] and this has happened to other babies. This high chair is a safety concern and a fall hazard. A baby falling from this chair could face serious injury. This high chair needs to be recalled!

    The high chair tray slides off the high chair when my son leans forward. The first time this happened, my 9 month old son fell head first on to the tile floor in my home. I thought this was a fluke and that maybe it was user error, or that the tray was not attached properly. The tray came off again yesterday while my son was eating, this time the safety straps held him from falling, but he was quite scared hanging there upside down for the few seconds it took me to get him up. Before this incident I had been very careful to attach the tray properly. The tray just does not stay attached. I checked the reviews on the babies r us website, and this has happened to other babies. This high chair is a safety concern and a fall hazard. A baby falling from this chair could face serious injury.

I turned around to wash out her bottle when I heard a HORRIBLE thud and turned around to see my baby on the tile floor! She had hit the floor head first! I rushed her to the ER and she was kept on observation fro 24 hours. She had fallen out b/c while in the recline position it allows child to easily slip through and lean over head first, then gravity takes over. These high chairs shouldn’t even have this position as an option!!! And with the buckle, it gives parents a FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY.
