The recalled high chairs are Fisher-Price Healthy Care, Easy Clean and Close To Me high chairs.


All of the recalled toys and recalled high chairs in this toy recall were manufactured in Mexico or China. Fisher-Price is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mattel Inc.

If you have any of these recall toys in your home, you should take them away from children immediately. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled toy. Visit the CPSC website to see all of the recall toy pictures, to read more information about this recall and to sign up for free email alerts for future toy recalls.
