Bumbo International of South Africa has recalled nearly 1 million of its foam Baby Sitter seats because they pose a risk to children, Bloomberg reports. The company has reports of 28 children falling out of the seats, and three of them suffered fractured skulls.The seats have been sold at Toys 'R' Us, Target, KMart, Sears, and Wal-Mart.

Customers can call the company at (877) 932-8626 during normal business hours or go to the company's website at http://www.bumbosafety.com for more information. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission says children can hurt themselves by arching their backs and literally flipping out of the chairs. The more dangerous incidents occurred when the chairs were placed on tables. (More baby stories.)
