| First Years toddler seat two-fer recall |

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.
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. Tag: Highchair and Bouncer Seat RecallsBookmark to:

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

| Ameriwood entertainment centers recalled after child’s death |

The entertainment centers affected are black with two lower miter-framed doors, two glass doors at the top, and CD storage racks. These were sold under the Ridgewood/Charleswood brand name between June 2000 and May 2005. They ran for approximately $200 all over the place nationwide, including K-Mart. Another way to identify this unit is to check for the model number 93956 printed in the instruction manual. HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, right, like we have the manual for a piece of furniture we put together 5 years ago. But if you happen to keep such things, come on over to our place, we have some closets we need help organizing. More information about this recall is located on Ameriwood’s website.

After receiving a report of a 19-month-old being killed as well as three other injuries, the CPSC is issuing a recall notice for the Ameriwood entertainment center due to the fact that if the back panel on the unit is not properly secured, it has the potential to collapse. Sheesh, first we have to bolt these things to the wall so they don’t tip over, and now they are just imploding all on their own?
