Plain-English summary
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is recalling approximately 75,200 Home Trends Kiddy Sling Chairs. The chairs are steel outdoor models with white frames and pink or blue sling fabric seats and backs, measuring about 9.5 inches in height. The recall is due to small plastic bolt covers located behind the back of the seat and under the seat, which pose a choking hazard to small children.
The chairs were sold at Wal-Mart stores nationwide from November 2002 through May 2003 for about $13. CPSC and Wal-Mart have received two reports of children removing the small covers and placing them in their mouths. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers should remove the plastic bolt covers or return the chair to Wal-Mart for a refund. Consumers can call Wal-Mart at (800) 925-6278 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit the company's website at www.walmart.com.
