What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Graco Children's Products Inc. is recalling approximately 100,000 activity trays and bath sets with suction cups in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The affected products include Graco and Children On The Go brand Stroller Snack and Activity Trays, Bathtime Activity Trays, and Bathtime Toy Netting products. These items were sold nationwide at discount, department, and juvenile product stores, including Toys "R" Us and Sears, from January 1998 until August 1999 for approximately $10 to $15.

The recall is being issued because the suction cups on these products can detach, presenting a choking hazard to young children. Graco has received four reports of children starting to choke after putting the suction cups in their mouths, including one incident that required the use of the Heimlich maneuver.

Consumers should stop using these products immediately. To receive a free repair kit, consumers should call Graco at (800) 345-4109 or access the company's website. Consumers can also write to Customer Affairs, Graco Children's Products Inc., P.O. Box 100, Elverson, PA 19520.
