The recalled chairs were sold as part of a set consisting of a table and two chairs. Each chair is about 22-inches high, 13-inches high, and about 11-inches deep. "Idea Nuova Inc." or "I.N.I." is printed on a label located underneath the seat of the chairs. 
Problem The chair's safety lcok can fail, allowing the chair to collapse or fold unexpectedly. Children's fingers can become caught or entrapped in the hinge and slot areas of the chair, posing a pinch or cut hazard. This can cause severe lacerations and finger tip amputations to children's fingers.
