On Tuesday, October 23, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and ValcoBaby recalled 975 ValcoBaby Booster Seats. The recall comes after two reports of a child falling from the booster toddler seat after it disengaged from the stroller.

The recalled seats were sold at various juvenile product stores, websites and the firm’s website (valcobaby.com) nationwide from June 2011 through June 2012 for between $80 and $100.
