The Hilton Hawaiian Village, Doubletree Waikiki and Hilton Waikoloa hotels were among the hotels that gave out the cooler/chair, a spokesperson said.
The recall comes after a report that a 2-year-old boy's fingertip was severed when the chair collapsed.
The cooler/chairs can be used as a child's chair or a food/beverage storage cooler. Vacation Station is printed on the front of the cooler bag. The items have either a purple aluminum frame and fabric seat with a green cooler bag, or a green aluminum frame and fabric seat with a blue cooler bag.
The cooler/chairs should not be returned to the hotel because the hotels do not have the replacement items.
