CPSC, Graco Announce Recall to Repair Seat Rings on
Stationary Entertainers
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Graco Children's Products
Inc. of Elverson, Pa., is providing a free replacement seat
ring for about 63,000 Graco stationary entertainers made
prior to March 1996. The white plastic seat rings on the
stationary entertainers have sharp edges that can cut or
scratch a child's legs during use.
Graco has received more than 400 reports of children's
legs being cut, scratched, or scraped, usually as the child
was lifted from the seat.
Graco will send consumers a repair kit, consisting of a
replacement seat ring and installation instructions.
Graco stationary entertainers made prior to March 1996
can be identified by their white plastic seat rings. The
Graco stationary entertainer has a plastic tray, measuring
27 inches across, supported by three adjustable legs. The
chair, which sits in the center of the unit, swivels around
so that the child can play with the toys attached to the
tray. The white plastic seat ring is located under the
padded seat cover.
The Graco stationary entertainers were sold nationwide
in juvenile products and discount stores beginning in
November 1995 for about $59 to $69.
Consumers should stop using the stationary entertainers
and call Graco immediately at (800) 345-4109 for a free
replacement seat ring and installation instructions or write
to Customer Affairs, Graco Children's Products Inc., P.O.
Box 100, Elverson, Pa. 19520.
Graco stationary entertainers with yellow plastic seat
rings are not involved in this recall.
