WASHINGTON, DC — More than 3,300 Costway Convertible High Chairs are being recalled because they may expose children to an entrapment or fall hazard that could lead to serious injury or death, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The warning covers units that can be converted into sets of tables and chairs.
Safety officials say the chairs do not include a passive restraint system, which can leave an opening between the seat and the feeding tray. A child could slip through that gap, creating the risk of a fall. No injuries have been reported so far, but consumers are being told to stop using the product right away.
What the Consumer Product Safety Commission says is wrong with the chairs
The recall notice says the high chairs lack a feature that would help keep a child securely in place during use. Without that passive restraint system, the opening between the seat and tray may be large enough for a child to fall through.
That design issue is why officials are warning of both entrapment and fall risks. The CPSC alert says the danger is serious enough that the product could cause severe injury or death. Parents and caregivers who own one of the recalled chairs are being urged to stop using it immediately rather than wait for a problem to happen.
The chairs were marketed as convertible furniture, allowing them to change from a high chair into table-and-chair sets. The recall applies to those affected units sold under the Costway name.
Where the recalled high chairs were sold and when they reached shoppers
According to the recall alert, the affected high chairs were sold nationwide through Costway.com and in Walmart and Target stores. Sales ran from May 2023 through July 2026, putting the products in homes across a wide stretch of the country.
The alert also says there is no tracking information located on the products, which can make it harder for customers to identify whether a chair in their home is included in the recall. Because of that, consumers may need to rely on the product name, purchase history, and any identifying details they have from the seller.
The nationwide sales window means the recall may affect families who bought the product recently as well as those who purchased it more than a year ago. Officials have not said how many units each retailer sold.
No injuries reported yet, but parents are being told to stop use now
The recall has not been tied to any reported injuries so far, but safety officials are treating the hazard as urgent. That kind of warning is meant to prevent a dangerous situation before it happens, especially when the product is used by infants or toddlers.
Parents and caregivers should not continue using the chairs while waiting for a replacement. The CPSC alert says the safest step is to remove the chair from use immediately and follow the recall instructions provided by Costway.
Because the recalled product is a high chair, the risk involves a time when a child is seated and being fed, which can make any instability more dangerous. The alert emphasizes that the issue is not cosmetic or minor; it is a structural safety problem.
How Costway says consumers can get a free replacement
Costway is offering a free replacement for consumers who have the recalled chair. To start the process, customers must first send the company a photo of the high chair so it can confirm the product.
After the photo is reviewed, Costway will send a prepaid return label so the chair can be shipped back. Once the return is completed, the company will provide a replacement at no cost to the customer.
The recall instructions are designed to make the exchange as simple as possible while getting the recalled product out of homes. Consumers should keep any purchase information they have and follow the company’s steps closely to avoid delays.
How to identify the recall and where to get help
Customers who think they may have one of the affected chairs can contact Costway directly for help. The company listed a phone number, 844-242-1885, and an email address, [email protected], for questions about the recall process.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recall alert also includes additional information for shoppers trying to confirm whether their product is included. Because the chairs do not have tracking information on the unit itself, buyers may need to compare the product name and any available order records with the recall details.
Anyone who believes they own one of the recalled high chairs should stop using it right away, then reach out to Costway for replacement instructions. The warning applies nationwide and remains in effect until affected units are removed from use.
