85,000 Highchairs Recalled Due to Reports of Falls, Including Famous "Boon" Highchair

by Mindy Cohn

TOMY International Inc. is recalling more than 85,000 highchairs sold at major retailers across the U.S. after nearly two dozen reports of falls from the highchairs resulted in a handful of injuries.

The toy and nursery product company recall includes nearly 83,000 Boon Flair and Flair Elite Highchairs sold in the U.S. and 2,850 in Canada.

The recall is due to the bolts securing the seat, which can loosen over time, allowing the seat to detach from its pedestal. The highchairs made in multiple colors were sold at Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Toys ‘R’ Us, Amazon, and Walmart, in-store and online. The Flair highchairs were sold from 2008 to 2009, and the Flair Elite models were sold from 2008 to 2017. Both models were made in China.

Impacted customers should stop using the high chair and call TOMY for a free repair kit consisting of a set of bolts and split and flat washers.
