'The First Years' Feeding Seats Recalled

December 6, 2007
RC2 Corp. is recalling about 100,000 of its 'The First Years' children's feeding seats. The restraining straps can pull out of the waist strap slots, posing a fall hazard to young children.

RC2 has received 38 reports of straps pulling out or nearly pulling out of waist strap slots. There have been 12 reports of children falling out of the chairs.

The First Years Newborn-to-Toddler Reclining Feeding Seat can be adjusted between reclining and upright positions. The seat includes a tray, reversible cushion and a three-point safety belt. One side of the seat cushion has a sewn-in label at the top which says "the first years by Learning Curve." This recall includes all feeding seats except those with an "R" stamped inside a raised circle located on the far left and right of the back of the seatback or those with waist strap slots that are nine inches apart.

The seats, made in the United states, were sold by various retailers nationwide from November 2006 through October 2007 for about $30.

Consumers should stop using the feeding seat immediately and contact RC2 to obtain free replacement straps.
