Britax recall: Child seat
What is wrong
Britax is recalling certain chaperone infant child restraint systems produced from september 1, 2010, through april 30, 2011. The harness adjuster can detach from the seat shell.
What could happen
Should the harness adjuster detach from the seat, the child may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury or death.
The fix
Britax will notify owners and provide repair kits free of charge. The safety recall and mailing of the kits began on february 7, 2012. Any seats on which the harness adjuster has detached will be replaced. Owners may contact britax at 1-888-427-4829 or visit www.chaperonerecall.com.
