  • It looks like an awesome table and chairs set. Hopefully they fix this defect really soon. I tried to get one like this years ago, for my then toddler, but they were all sold out.

  • It could be that a child has leaned on it many times. Too much such abuse of furniture can result in accidents eventually – even very solid furniture. We are not told the age or weight of the child involved so maybe he / she was too old or heavy to be using it. This is not discrimination. It is about the chair either being faulty or used incorrectly

  • I’d think this would be the case with nearly all kids chairs?

  • I like the fact that companies make an effort to recall items that aren’t safe. Hope the testing prior to releasing the products tightens.
