CPSC, Meco Corp. Announce Recall of Children's Folding Chairs

Hazard

Children's fingers can become caught or entrapped in the hinge and slot areas of the chair, posing a pinch or cut hazard. Note: In 2004, Meco recalled red-colored children's folding chairs because paint on the chair contained excessive lead levels, posing a lead poisoning hazard to young children.
