Is Your Child’s Car Seat Safe? Information About The Latest Car Seat Recall…

seat1Dorel Juvenile has recently recalled certain Safety First and Eddie Bauer Child Restraint Systems because of safety reasons, stating that there is a potential for the consumer to be misled or confused when installing the child restraint in the rear-facing mode

 

According to Dorel, certain child restraint systems manufactured from July 20, 2010 through May 18, 2011 do not fully comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.

A color coordinated ease of use label depicting the rear-facing mode instruction was positioned on the incorrect side of the base. The arrows on the label point towards the forward-facing belt path instead of the rear-facing belt path which could potentially cause confusion to the consumer.    

There have been no injuries reported in relation to the recall, but that does not mean parents should ignore it. 

The Affected seats should NOT be returned to the retailer. Instead, contact the Dorel Juvenile Group directly, using the Recall Hotline at 1-877-675-2355, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.

Dorel Juvenile encourages parents to obtain their repair kit as soon as possible. Parents may continue to use the child restraint system as directed in their instruction manual.  To receive a free repair kit, email the company at rfbaselabel@djgusa.com.

The models affected are manufactured from July 10, 2010 through May 18, 2011 and include Convertible child restraints Alpha Omega Elite, Deluxe 3 in 1, Complete Air LX and Complete Air SE.
