Defective High Chairs Cause Numerous Injuries among Children

Evenflo is recalling close to 95,000 Majestic high chairs because these products pose a hazard to children when some of the parts come loose and seat backs fall off. According to this Associated Press news report, there have been a number of reports of injuries among children who were placed on these defective chairs ? from broken bones to head injuries. Evenflo officials also said that they received more than 1,000 reports of plastic caps and screws falling off the high chairs and 140 reports of seat backs reclining or detaching.

These high chairs were reportedly made in China and sold nationwide at children?s stores such as Toys?R?Us, Babies ?R? Us, Burlington Coat Factory and Shopko as well as online at walmart.com from January 2006 to May 2007. For more information, please visit their Web site at www.majestichighchair.com.

We have seen a number of defective children?s products being recalled just this year from children?s furniture such as toddler beds, cribs and bassinets to lead-tainted toys made in China. These defective products have left several young children in the United States injured or dead.

If your child has been injured or killed because of a defective product in New York, or any state, you could be entitled to compensation. No amount of money could compensate for the loss of a child. But the money you get as compensation could help with paying for medical or other expenses related to the injury and help you move on with your life. It will also serve as a penalty to the manufacturers of these defective products.
