What’s the Problem?
In April 2025, Harppa issued a recall of its 4-in-1 Convertible High Chair (Model BHC001) after Canadian regulators found the product posed a serious risk of child falls and entrapment. [1]
According to the alert, the seat and tray configuration allowed large openings, creating entrapment hazards, and the restraint system did not reliably prevent tipping or falls, violating mandatory high-chair safety standards. [2]
Although no public lawsuits specific to Harppa high chairs have been reported to date, parents of injured children may still have grounds for a Harppa high chair recall lawsuit.
Latest Updates
- April 11, 2025 – Health Canada posted an official recall notice for Harppa high chair Model BHC001 sold in Pink, Grey and Green because of fall and entrapment hazards. [1]
- April 17, 2025 – Several consumer-safety websites and advocacy posts alerted parents in the U.S. to check for similar units despite the recall being issued in Canada. [3]
- June 2025 – Legal commentary observed that risk of fall and entrapment in recalled high chairs may support individual claims even without a formal class-action process. [4]
Product & Usage Overview
The recalled Harppa 4-in-1 Convertible High Chair (Model BHC001) is marketed for babies and toddlers and converts between high-chair, booster and toddler seating modes. It features a tray, removable seat cushion and height-adjustable legs, and was sold in three color options: Pink, Grey and Green. [1]
Harppa uses a Chinese manufacturer and packaged the product for international distribution; while the recall was initiated in Canada after sale of 565 units there from January 2024 through March 2025, this same model may have been sold in the U.S. under third-party sellers. [2]
Parents and caregivers are urged to stop using the chair immediately whether or not the unit shows visible damage, particularly if it is unanchored, used with infants under six months or had tray or restraint components removed.
Injuries & Side Effects
The hazards identified in the recall highlight serious injury risk:
– Falls: The chair may tip, collapse or disengage under normal use, causing child falls from elevated height, leading to fractures, head trauma or bruising.
– Entrapment: Openings between the seat and tray or footrest may allow a child to become trapped or wedged, posing suffocation or strangulation risk.
– Restraint failure: The safety belt or crotch strap may detach or not secure the child properly, increasing fall risk.
While no specific injury reports have been publicly disclosed for this chair model, the described hazards align with incidents in other high-chair recalls and form the basis for potential claims.
Do You Qualify for a Harppa High Chair Recall Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to pursue a claim if you:
– Purchased the Harppa 4-in-1 Convertible High Chair – Model BHC001 (Pink, Grey, Green) – between January 2024 and March 2025 or used such a unit in your household
– The child using the chair experienced a fall, entrapment, injury or near-miss incident tied to the chair’s failure
– You retained proof of purchase, model number, photos of the chair or the recall announcement
– You have required medical treatment, diagnostic imaging or incurred related expenses, and are within your state’s statute of limitations for product-liability claims
Evidence You Should Gather
Preparing for a potential claim involves collecting:
– Proof of purchase: receipt, bank/credit-card statement, order confirmation or retailer record
– Photographs: the chair showing model number, serial label, condition, tray position and any damage
– Incident documentation: medical records, hospital bills, treatment notes or compensation claims if injury occurred
– Witness statements: caregivers who observed misuse, fall or entrapment event and photographic/video evidence if available
– Recall notice: screenshot or PDF of the Harppa recall announcement for specified model BHC001
Damages You Can Recover
If your child was injured while using the recalled high chair, potential compensation may include:
– Medical expenses: emergency-room care, orthopedic treatment, neuroimaging, follow-up visits, therapy
– Lost wages: if a parent or caregiver missed work to provide care
– Pain, suffering or emotional distress: for child and family, including long-term impact or disability
– Replacement cost: refund or replacement of the defective product
– In jurisdictions permitting punitive damages: where evidence shows manufacturer or importer knew of hazard and took insufficient action
Legal Theories & Liability Grounds
Possible legal grounds for a Harppa high chair recall lawsuit include:
– Design defect: The chair’s structure allows a gap or instability that violates mandatory federal high-chair standards and foreseeably poses entrapment/fall risk
– Manufacturing defect: Individual chairs may deviate from safe guardrails, restraint system or structural integrity as designed
– Failure to warn: If parents were not adequately warned of hazards or if retailer/importer did not provide required safety instructions or anchoring guidelines
– Strict product liability: Seeking compensation because the chair, when used as intended, presented an unreasonable risk of serious injury to children
– Breach of warranty: When the unit is marketed as safe for children yet failed basic safety requirements for high chairs
Even though no active lawsuit is publicly identified for Harppa chairs alone, the recall is a strong indicator of product risk and may support individual legal claims.
Statute of Limitations & Timing
Each state has its own statute of limitations for product-liability and personal-injury claims, commonly between one and four years from the date of injury or knowledge of injury. Because child-product injuries may surface immediately or later (due to falls or developmental issues), preserving evidence and consulting legal counsel early is advisable.
