Toy Chair a Hazard
From Bloomberg News
Mattel Inc. and federal officials warned consumers Wednesday to obtain a free repair kit before using the company’s Laugh and Learn Musical Learning Chair, which may cause strangulation.
About 614,000 of the chairs were sold since May, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said. It plays music and teaches numbers and letters.
A child’s neck can become trapped between the seat back and attached side table. Buyers can contact the toy’s maker, El Segundo-based Mattel’s Fisher-Price unit, for a free repair kit.
