Why it was recalled
According to the CPSC notice, the identified hazard is: The recalled children's folding chairs have safety locks under the seat. The chairs are made of metal tubing with a vinyl padded seat and seat back. They were sold in red, blue, yellow and green colors as a part of a set consisting of a table and four chairs. Each chair is about 22 inches high, 10 inches wide, and about 11 inches deep. "Meco" or "Samsonite" is printed on the label underneath the seat bottom. Hazards: Children's fingers can become caught or entrapped in the hinge and slot areas of the chair, posing a pinch or cut hazard.
