The Home Trends Kiddy Sling Chair sold at Wal-Mart is being recalled. The small plastic bolt covers pose a choking hazard to small children.
There have been two reports of children removing the small covers and placing them in mouths. No injuries have been reported.
The chairs are steel outdoor chairs with a white frame and a pink or blue sling fabric seat and back. The chairs measure about 9.5 inches in height. The seats have two small plastic covers located behind the back of the seat and two covers under the seat.
Wal-Mart stores nationwide sold these chairs from Nov. 2002 through May 2003 for about $13.
Consumers should remove the plastic bolt covers or return the chair to Wal-Mart for a refund. Call Wal-Mart at (800) 925-6278 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site at www.walmartstores.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
