To check a high chair for recalls, find its model number and date code, often on a label under the seat or on the back, and search the brand plus “high chair” at cpsc.gov/Recalls. High chairs must meet 16 CFR part 1231. Of 20 high chair recalls from 2016 to 2025, 16 came in 2021 or later, mostly for falls.

Recent high chair recalls, in CPSC’s words

About this table

Copied from CPSC’s recall records: product, hazard and remedy type exactly as CPSC published them. It is a snapshot; search cpsc.gov/Recalls for every high chair recall.

Recall date Product Hazard, as CPSC states it Remedy
Nov. 26, 2025 Baby High Chairs (convertible) The high chairs violate the mandatory standard for high chairs because they were sold without the required attached restraint system, posing a deadly fall hazard to babies. In addition, a child’s head can become trapped in the opening between the seat and tray, posing a deadly entrapment hazard. Refund
Oct. 30, 2025 Harppa 5-in-1 Convertible High Chairs for Babies and Toddlers The high chairs pose a risk of serious injury or death to children because they violate the mandatory standard for high chairs. The high chairs were sold without the required attached restraint system, posing a serious risk of falls to children. In addition, a child’s head can become trapped in the opening created between the seat and the tray, posing a deadly entrapment hazard. Replace
June 12, 2025 Giraffe highchairs The highchairs pose a fall hazard and risk of serious injury or death to babies because the legs of the chair can detach from the frame if the screws connecting the legs are not properly tightened during assembly. Repair
June 5, 2025 2-in-1 Funlio Convertible Baby High Chairs The recalled high chairs pose a deadly entrapment hazard because the opening between the seat and tray is large enough that a child can become entrapped in it. In addition, the child restraint system can fail, posing a fall hazard. These are violations of the federal standards for high chairs. Refund
June 5, 2025 Portable Hook-On Chairs The recalled portable hook-on chair poses a deadly fall hazard because the crotch restraint can be removed without the use of a tool and infants can fall through an opening, which is a violation of the federal standard for portable hook-on chairs. Refund

What the recalls have in common

In our count of CPSC records from 2016 through 2025, high chairs, booster seats and hook-on chairs had 20 recalls. A fall was named in 17 of the hazard statements and entrapment in 8. Two problems recur in the 2025 notices: chairs “sold without the required attached restraint system,” and openings between the seat and tray large enough to trap a child’s head.

The Bugaboo notice is a different kind of problem: legs that can detach “if the screws connecting the legs are not properly tightened during assembly.” Its remedy is a free repair kit with an Allen key and new screws.

Where is the model number on a high chair?

CPSC notices point to a few places:

  • Under the seat: Graco’s 2018 notice said the model number was “printed on a label on the underside of the toddler seat,” and Nuna’s 2016 notice said it was “printed under the high chair seat on a white sticker.”
  • Under the seat, by item code: Bugaboo’s 2025 notice said “the item codes are located on the bottom of the seat.”
  • On the back of the chair: Skip Hop’s 2018 notices listed style numbers and date codes found on the back.

High chairs, booster seats and hook-on chairs are on the federal list of durable infant or toddler products, so the label with the maker, model number and date of manufacture is required by 16 CFR 1130.4. Where to find the model number has more examples.

Before you use a high chair

Check the model at cpsc.gov/Recalls, make sure the chair came with its built-in restraint, and follow the assembly instructions exactly; the Giraffe recall shows what a loose screw can do. For a secondhand chair, see buying used baby gear. Back to baby gear recalls.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if my high chair is recalled?

Find the model number and date code, usually on a label under the seat or on the back of the chair, then search the brand and 'high chair' at cpsc.gov/Recalls and compare your numbers with each notice.

Is the Graco high chair recalled?

Recalls cover specific models, not whole brands. In CPSC's records from 2016 to 2025, Graco recalled highchairs on March 1, 2018, sold exclusively at Walmart, for a fall hazard. Check your chair's model number against that notice and search cpsc.gov/Recalls for any others.

What do recent high chair recalls have in common?

Of the 9 high chair recalls we counted in CPSC's records for 2025, the hazard statements in 8 said the chair violated a federal standard or rule, and 8 named a fall or entrapment hazard. Two of the late-2025 notices said the chairs were sold without the required attached restraint system.

Are hook-on chairs covered by the same rules?

Hook-on chairs and booster seats are on the federal list of durable infant or toddler products, so they must carry a permanent label and come with a registration card. CPSC recalled portable hook-on chairs in June 2025 for violating the federal standard for portable hook-on chairs.
