The recall notification covers the company’s Transitions Three-in-One Combination Booster Seats with model numbers 34411686, 34411695 and 34411029, made from Dec. 18, 2014, through Jan. 29, 2016.
In government documents, Evenflo says the seat’s central front adjuster button, used to loosen the harness may be within a child’s reach, If the harness doesn’t fit snugly, the child would be at risk of being injured. In a statement on their website, Evenflo says it is conducting this voluntary recall in coordination with the U.S National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”).
The company also says there have been no reports of injury. The problem was discovered in late January during an analysis of customer feedback by the company. NBC News is reporting the problem only effects seats when they are used as forward-facing harnessed boosters.
Evenflo is notifying consumers who have purchased the seat and will be sending, at no charge, a remedy kit that will virtually eliminate a child’s access and activation of the Center Front Adjuster (CFA). The kit includes a replacement bottom seat pad, CFA assembly and installation instructions, according to ABC7 News.
Parents will need to have the seat’s model number and date of manufacture, or they can call Evenflo’s ParentLink Consumer Resource Center at 1-800-233-5921, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Please do not return your child’s Transitions seat to retailers.
