Plain-English summary

Kids II (formerly Pansy Ellen Products) is voluntarily recalling approximately 680,000 "Graduate Booster Seats," model #415 and model #4156. This recall expands a previous action from March 4, 1993, to include model #4156 and booster seats with a white base and a red seat. The affected seats were sold in retail stores nationwide from 1987 through 1991 for between $10.99 and $13.99.

The plastic seat component may slide out of the slot in the chair base or fall from its slotted position due to inadequate engagement between the seat and the base. Kids II is aware of more than 527 complaints of seat failures. Some of these incidents have resulted in minor injuries to children, including bumps, cuts, and bruises.

Consumers should examine their Graduate Booster Seats, model #415 or model #4156, to ensure the plastic seat fits securely into the slots of the base. If the seat does not fit securely, consumers should immediately discontinue use. A $5.00 partial refund is available by sending the white or red seat component to Kids II, Inc., 1245 Old Alpharetta Road, Alpharetta, GA 30202. Questions can be directed to Kids II at (770) 751-0442.
