BRITAX CAR SEAT RECALL (BRITAX CHILD SAFETY, INC.)
Model(s): Regent Classic - E9L3998 - Forward-facing only youth child restraint
Production Dates: December 18, 2006 - January 18, 2007
Noncompliance: These seats were produced with an incorrect label sewn to the fabric cover which fails to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraints Systems." In place of the "WARNING! Death or serious injury can occur" warning label, an airbag warning label was attached. The airbag warning label is not required for the Regent Classic restraint as it is a forward-facing only youth restraint system.
Corrective Action: Owners that have filed a registration card with Britax will automatically receive a replacement cover. Owners or caregivers who have not filed a registration form should contact Britax Consumer Services Department at 1-888-4britax (1-888-427-4829) or via email at regentcoverreplacement@britaxusa.com. The recall is expected to begin on March 9, 2007.

BRITAX CAR SEAT RECALL (BRITAX CHILD SAFETY, INC.)
Model(s): Boulevard - E9L57 - Child restraint systems
Production Dates: March 1, 2006 - August 1, 2006
Noncompliance: During testing, the tether hook opened which fails to conform to the dynamic performance and child restraint system integrity requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
Corrective Action: If the top tether hook opens during a crash, the child restraint could change from an upright to a reclined position increasing the risk of injury to the child. Registered owners will automatically receive labels along with instructions advising caregivers to discontinue use of the top tether when the child reaches 50 lbs. Non-registered owners can obtain labels by contacting Britax at 1-888-427-4829. The recall is expected to begin on December 1, 2006.

BRITAX CAR SEAT RECALL (BRITAX CHILD SAFETY, INC.)
Model(s): Companion - E9L14 - Rear Facing Infant Only
Production Dates: October 31, 2003 - June 6, 2004
Noncompliance: Due to an incorrect assembly of some of the infant carriers, tabs on the bottom of the carrier may not be properly seated. These child restraints fail to conform to the frontal impact crash requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems." In the event of a vehicle crash, the carrier would rotate beyond the limit required by law, possibly resulting in serious injury or even death to the child.
Corrective Action: Britax will notify all registered owners and instruct owners to inspect the bottom of the carrier for incorrect assembly. If the carrier has an incorrect assembly, Britax will replace the carrier and the base free of charge. If the carrier has an incorrect assembly, owners are advised that they may continue using the carrier without the base until they receive a new restraint system. Proper instructions on installing the carrier in the car without the base are provided in the product users' guide.

BRITAX CAR CHILD RESTRAINT (BRITAX CHILD SAFETY, INC.)
Model(s): All Marathon (E9L06), Wizard (E9L07), Husky (E9L30) child restraints, as well as restraints manufactured by Britax for Snug Seat under the model name Traveller Plus (E9L32).
Production Dates:
• Marathon - 8/2/02 - 7/23/04
• Husky - 8/11/02 - 7/23/04
• Wizard - 7/16/03 - 7/23/04
• Traveller Plus - 12/2/03 - 7/23/04
Defect: The A-Lok adjuster assembly can allow slippage of the webbing resulting in loosening of the harness straps. If the slippage were to occur in the event of a vehicle crash, the child would move too far forward, possibly increasing the risk of injury.
Corrective Action: Registered owners will receive a replacement adjuster strap by September 30, 2004. In the meantime, registered owners will receive instructions on how to check the seat for slippage after every use. If slippage is occurring before replacement straps can be mailed, the use of the restraint should be stopped and customers should contact Britax for further assistance.

BRITAX CAR SEAT RECALL (BRITAX CHILD SAFETY, INC.)
Model(s): Husky child restraints
Production Dates: October 7, 2002 to December 8, 2003
Noncompliance: In the event of a vehicle crash, these restraints, when secured with a lap belt as described in the user's manual, could allow the child's head to move further forward than allowed by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
Corrective Action: Registered owners will be provided with labels and instructions for the application of the labels to be placed over the corresponding instructions in the current user's guide and on the restraint cover. Non-registered owners are strongly urged to register their child seat with the manufacturer in case of future safety recalls. Parents should continue to use the seat while waiting to receive and install the repair kit because it will still provide better protection than an adult seat belt or no restraint.

Production Dates: April 25, 2001, to February 15, 2002

This recall includes the entire production of these models from October 2005 through December 2007. In the event of a frontal crash, the car seat could potentially become separated from its base. Should the seat separate from the base in a crash, the child will not be adequately protected possibly resulting in injury. Owners should contact Combi to obtain a free retrofit kit. Until the caregiver receives the free retrofit kit, Combi recommends that the car seat be used without the base. The recall is expected to begin on March 3, 2008.

Production Dates: May 7 through May 15, 2006
Noncompliance: The crotch anchor which is located on the bottom of the seat was installed incorrectly which fails to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

Defect: With an affixed label on the seat, DJG intended to recommend that the forward-facing mode should be used for children "over 1 year of age."

If the consumer were to follow the erroneous instructions, the seat may not adequately restrain the child in the event of a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in injuries to the child.
Corrective Action: Dorel Juvenile Group will mail a corrected label along with repair instructions to registered owners free of charge.

DOREL/ COSCO CAR SEAT RECALL
Model(s): Alpha Omega and Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 child restraints, Models 02-331, 02-332, 02-531, 02-533, 02-537, and 02-555

EVENFLO CHILD SEAT RECALL
Evenflo is recalling 1,038 Discovery infant child restraints, Models 3021769Z and 3021854Z, manufactured on February 4, 2008. Due to a manufacturing variability, some units may have been produced without complete assembly of the release handle located on the back of the seat. Under certain conditions, the seat may become separated from the base, potentially resulting in serious injury to the child. Evenflo will notify owners and offer a free replacement seat. Owners should contact Evenflo toll-free at 1-800-233-5921 to obtain a replacement seat. The recall is expected to begin during April 2008.

Evenflo is recalling 1,000,000 Models 390, 391, 534, and 552 Discovery car seats or associated travel systems manufactured from April 2005 through January 2008. In recent laboratory tests conducted by Evenflo and NHTSA to evaluate the performance of these seats in high impact side collisions, it was revealed that the car seat could potentially become separated from its base under these conditions. In the event of a side impact vehicle crash, the car seat could become separated from its base, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. Evenflo will notify registered owners and provide a free supplemental dual-hook fastener to ensure that the car seat remains attached to its base in a high impact side collision similar to those in the recent tests. The recall is expected to begin during February 2008. Evenflo has not made a decision that these units contain a safety related defect; however Evenflo will provide a free supplemental dual-hook fastener.

GRACO CHILD CAR SEAT RECALL
Graco is recalling 18 ComfortSport child restraint systems, Model 8C02MRC2, manufactured on October 22, 2007, for failing to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, “Child Restraint Systems.” These seats were produced with convoluted foam that was 1.5” thick instead of the 1" thick foam that Graco specified and tested. Seats with 1.5” foam have not been tested so it is unclear as to what impact this will have on compliance to the standard and on child seat safety. The purpose of this standard is to reduce the number of children killed or injured in motor vehicle crashes. Graco will notify owners and replace the affected seats. The recall is expected to begin during February 2008.

The components are 1 or 2 metal hooks and their retainer pins on the base and the mating "U" shaped bars on the carrier shell that are used to attach the carrier to the base. If the hooks, pins or "U" bars are missing, the carrier may not be securely attached to the base.

Corrective Action: Owners may call Graco at 1-800-345-4109 to receive a free replacement seat or base.

Models: Primo Viaggio with base, Pliko Travel System, Primo Viaggio System, Atlantico System, and Atlantico Trek System SNG
Production Dates: May 20, 2001, to and including February 15, 2002
Noncompliance: The seats have a snap in the upholstery directly over the locking belt adjustment mechanism (A-Loc Adjuster). When the upholstery is attached by the snap to the cover of the A-Loc Adjuster, it may cause tension in the upholstery due to the weight of the child, which may prevent the complete engagement of the A-Loc Adjuster allowing some slippage in the harness restraints. These seats fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213 "Child Restraint Systems." In the event of a vehicle crash, the child may not be properly restrained.

PEG PEREGO PRIMO VIAGGO CAR SEAT RECALL
Models: Primo Viaggo infant car seat (Part Nos. CS00MU1MR41TF41 and CS00MU1MR41WD41), Primo Viaggo infant car seat with base (Part Nos.

Production Dates: February 1, 2001 through June 11, 2001
Noncompliance: The bottom latch mechanism of the child seat on the left side does not completely engage the latching rod of the base that stays in the vehicle due to the improper positioning of the metal reinforcing bracket of the latch mechanism during manufacture.

Production Dates: September 1, 2002, to October 21, 2003
Noncompliance: These seats do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems." In the event of a vehicle crash, forces could cause the child's head to move further forward than allowed by Safety Standard 213, increasing the risk of head injury to the child.
Corrective Action: Safeline Kids should have mailed repair instructions and a revised owners manual. The customers are being asked to remove and discard the shoulder and buckle pads from the harness before continuing to use the seat. The shoulder and buckle pads may interfere with the harness becoming properly snug. Also, customers should only use the upper forward-facing belt path. There is no problem when the seat is used in the rear-facing position for children weighing less than 20 pounds.

Owners who have not registered their product should contact Safeline Kids' toll-free number (800-829-1625) between 8:30 am to 4:30 pm MST Monday through Thursday or between 8:30am and 3:00pm MST Friday.

Production Dates: April 1, 2001 - October 1, 2001
Noncompliance: The seats fail to comply the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No., 213 "Child Restraint Systems."
