High chairs recalled over wide leg openings and tray detachment risk

A voluntary recall has been announced for approximately 1,400 Babyjoy 6-in-1 Convertible High Chair Activity Centers, sold by Costway under the model names Beige (BB5693YW) and Gray (BB5693GR). These products violate federal safety regulations for high chairs and stationary activity centers, creating serious safety hazards.

The recall was prompted by concerns related to overly wide leg openings and a removable tray that can disengage unexpectedly. Internal assessments and regulatory scrutiny brought these issues to light. The recalled units were primarily sold online across the United States, including the Costway website and Amazon. To address the matter, the company has pulled remaining inventory from sale and is offering refunds and return instructions to those who purchased the affected units.
