Recalls

Check your restaurant’s high chairs — 22,000 got recalled. Some broke, and kids fell

Restaurant owners and customers with infants and toddlers should check out the high chairs in use. Clark Associates recalled 22,452 high chairs sold under the Lancaster Table & Seating brand Thursday.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall alert notice says simply, “The high chairs can break, posing a fall hazard to children.”

There are three reports of the chairs breaking while in use.
