The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Artsana USA Inc. have announced a voluntary recall of 455,000 Chicco Polly High Chairs.

Children can fall on or against pegs on the rear legs of the high chair, resulting in bruises or cuts, Thursday's announcement said.

The company has gotten more than 20 reports of injuries.

The high chairs were sold from $100 to $150 at retail stores including Babies R Us, Burlington Coat Factory, Buy Buy Baby, Shopko and Toys R Us, as well as online through Albeebaby.com, Amazon.com, Babyage.com, Babysupermart.com, Diapers.com and Target.com.

Consumers are urged to contact Chicco for a free peg cover kit which will be mailed to them. To help prevent injuries before repair, consumers should store the tray on the pegs when the high chair is not in use, the announcement said.
