Peg Perego Recalls Leg Straps for Certain High Chairs

Plain-English summary

Peg Perego, U.S.A., Inc. is recalling leg straps for Model 21-01-027 high chair/youth chairs manufactured between March 11, 1992, and March 26, 1993. The affected products feature a white molded seat and carry manufacturing codes 430311 through 440327, which are located on a label on the underside of the chair and on the carton. A total of 20,846 units were shipped to retailers nationwide.

The recall is due to a defect in the single buckle that secures the leg strap under the seat. The original leg strap could be pulled through the slot in the seat, which would enable a child to fall from the high chair. There were three reported incidents of the leg strap pulling through the frame of the high chair. High chairs with gray molded seats are not involved in this repair program.

Consumers should look under the high chair seat at the buckle securing the leg strap. If the buckle is 2 inches by 3/8 inch and there is a single buckle, the leg strap needs to be replaced. To obtain a free replacement leg strap or assistance in identifying the product, consumers should call 1-800-728-2108. Peg Perego will send the replacement strap and instructions for installation.
