Incident Details
- Incident Description: We were using the Mockingbird High Chair with our 6.5 month old who has been eating solids for a couple weeks now. The buckle of the safety harness is defective and posed a life-threatening scenario when our baby started choking and we could not undo the buckle to take him out of the Mockingbird High Chair. The buckle has two areas that you squeeze at the same time to release the harness, but one of the two buttons you squeeze is stuck. It only releases with extreme pressure appliedand even then it is not consistently opening.
