RC2 Corp., of Oak Brook, Illinois, has recalled about 100,000 First Years Newborn-to-Toddler Reclining Feeding Seats. The restraining straps can pull out of the waist strap slots, posing a fall hazard to young children. RC2 has received 38 reports of straps pulling out or nearly pulling out of waist strap slots. There have been 12 reports of children falling out of the chairs. The First Years Newborn-to-Toddler Reclining Feeding Seat can be adjusted between reclining and upright positions. The seat includes a tray, a reversible cushion, and a three-point safety belt. One side of the seat cushion has a sewn-in label at the top that says “the first years by Learning Curve.”

This recall includes all feeding seats except those with an “R” stamped inside a raised circle located on the far left and right of the back of the seatback or those with waist strap slots that are nine inches apart. Various retailers nationwide from November 2006 through October 2007 for about $30. Consumers should stop using the feeding seat immediately and contact RC2 to obtain free replacement straps.
