Plain-English summary

Graco Children's Products Inc. is recalling approximately 63,000 stationary entertainers manufactured prior to March 1996. The recall is due to sharp edges on the white plastic seat rings, which can cut, scratch, or scrape a child's legs, typically when the child is lifted from the seat. Graco has received more than 400 reports of such injuries.

The affected units feature a plastic tray measuring 27 inches across, supported by three adjustable legs, with a swiveling chair in the center. The white plastic seat ring is located under the padded seat cover. These entertainers were sold nationwide in juvenile products and discount stores beginning in November 1995 for approximately $59 to $69. Units with yellow plastic seat rings are not involved.

Consumers should stop using the affected stationary entertainers immediately. To obtain a free replacement seat ring and installation instructions, consumers should call Graco at (800) 345-4109 or write to Customer Affairs, Graco Children's Products Inc., P.O. Box 100, Elverson, Pa. 19520.
