CPSC, Hilton Hotels Corporation Announce Recall of Vacation

Station(TM) Children's Cooler/Chairs



WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product

Safety Commission (CPSC), Hilton Hotels Corporation, of Beverly

Hills, California, is voluntarily recalling about 27,000 Vacation

Station children's cooler/chairs. When the chair collapses the

folding mechanism can pose a crushing, cutting or severing hazard

to consumers' fingers.



CPSC and Hilton Hotels are aware of one report in which part of

a 2-year-old boy's fingertip was severed when the chair collapsed.



The recalled product is a multi-use product that can be used as

both a child's chair or a food/beverage storage cooler. The cooler/

chairs were given to hotel guests as a welcoming gift at

participating Hilton(R), Doubletree(R), and Hilton Garden Inn(R)

hotels and resorts. The chairs have either a purple aluminum frame

with a purple fabric seat and green cooler bag, or a green

aluminum frame with a green fabric seat and a blue cooler bag.

Vacation Station(TM) is printed on the front of the cooler bag.

The chairs were made in Hong Kong and imported into the U.S. by

Promotional Partners Group Limited of Hong Kong.


Don't know if this is the right board for it, if not please feel free to move it to the right one.


Participating Hilton, Doubletree, and Hilton Garden Inn hotels

and resorts nationwide distributed the cooler chairs between May

2002 and June 2002 for free to hotel guests with children.



Consumers should stop using the recalled cooler/chairs immediately

and contact Hilton Hotels for information on returning the cooler/

chairs and receiving a free replacement item. Contact Hilton Hotels

toll-free at (877) 221-2424 between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. PT
