Bumbo International Trust recalled four million Bumbo Baby Seats

Four million Bumbo Baby Seats were recalled because infants can get out of and fall from the seat, incurring serious injuries. An electrical failure and fire hazard caused General Electric to pull the plug on several dishwasher models this week, recalling some 1.3 million dishwashers in all. And food recalls this week proved even gourmet or organic food products offer no immunity to nasty pathogens, such as salmonella and listeria.

The firm has received 1,276 reports of the pot handle breaking, including 68 injury reports of lacerations and burns. You'll need that caffeine fix to catch your tot if you put them in an Evenflo convertible high chair, 35,000 of which have been recalled because they pose a fall hazard to those in them. And if you have any nut allergens, you'll want to pass up OSKRI's Peach Granola for your breakfast fare, which was recalled because of undeclared cashews. So much for starting the day off right...

As a result, only Healthy Care chairs manufacturered prior to 2008 are involved in the recall. Read more

Boon Flair High Chair

Baby gear is one of those areas where you can spend $100 or $1,000, but reviewers say you just don't need to spend big bucks on a high chair.
