Evenflo recalls high chairs.




The Boston Globe (6/7, Lipka) reports in its "Consumer Alert" column, "A line of Evenflo high chairs that convert to a toddler table and chair were recalled today after reports of the trays unexpectedly coming off, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission said." The models affected are "29111259, 29111271 and 29111234." Evenflo is offering replacement trays.
        WebMD (6/7, McMillen) reports, "The reason for the recall is that the chairs' activity tray could unexpectedly detach, allowing unrestrained children to fall. Evenflo has received 18 reports of cases in which the trays detached. In nearly half of those cases, the toddler fell from the chair, suffering bumps and bruises."
Fragile brake pedal mounts cause Kia to issue another recall. USA Today (6/7) reports that Kia has issued "another recall, this one for Borrego SUVs." USA Today reports that the "National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the latest call-back is because a brake pedal mount in 21,912 of the 2009 Borregos, built May 2, 2008, through Jan. 20, 2009, isn't sturdy enough and could break in a crash." USA Today adds that "yesterday, Kia announced a recall of 2006 through 2008 Rio subcompacts because front passenger air bags might deploy when they shouldn't."
