It’s Two-fer Thursday here at Total Recall, courtesy of RC2 Corp. and their toddler seat recalls!

First up, it’s the First Years Newborn-to-Toddler Reclining Feeding Seat. Apparently the seat restraints don’t do the one thing they are supposed to — you know, restrain — and they’ve received 38 reports of the straps almost or completely pulling out with 12 reported incidents of kids falling out of the seat so far. The recall includes all of this model of feeding seat except those with an “R” stamped inside a raised circle, situated on the left and right of the seat back. Seats with seatbelt slots nine inches apart are also not affected by the recall. Sold nationwide between November 2006 and October 2007 for around 30 smackers.

Next, we have RC2’s First Years 3-in-1 Flush and Sounds Potty Seat. This potty seat, sold between April 2006 and August 2007 nationwide for between $20-$25, has a decorative Winnie the Pooh plaque that could have orange paint that contains excessive levels of lead — oh, Tigger, that may help explain your strange behavior. If you have this seat, contact RC2 and they’ll send out a clear, protective cover to go over the plaque.

Now, we’ve certainly jumped on the lead paint bandwagon, but if your kid is chewing on his potty seat you have a lot more to worry about than lead poisoning.

Check RC2’s website for more information about these two recalls.
