Restaurant owners and diners with young children were recently put on notice after multiple high chairs broke with children in them, prompting a recall.
The recall involves 22,400 Lancaster Table & Seating brand High Chairs in the U.S., in addition to about 52 sold in Canada, according to a Feb. 23 notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The notice said Clark Associates, based out of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, received "three reports of high chairs breaking while in use and children falling." However, no injuries were reported.

U.S. safety regulators have pressured Tesla into recalling nearly 363,000 vehicles with its "Full Self-Driving" system because it misbehaves around intersections and doesn't always follow speed limits. The recall, part of a larger investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration into Tesla's automated driving systems, is the most serious action taken yet against the electric vehicle maker. The safety agency says in documents posted on its website, that Tesla will fix the concerns with an online software update in the coming weeks. The documents say Tesla is doing the recall but does not agree with an agency analysis of the problem. More LiveNOW from FOX streaming video
The CPSC said consumers should immediately stop using the recalled high chairs and return them to any of the Restaurant Store locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware or Maryland, or contact Clark Associates for a free replacement or refund in the form of store credit.
Consumers will be asked to submit a photo of the dismantled or destroyed product and dispose of it, the notice said.
