Certain Britax Chaperone infant car seats have been recalled, as the rivet to secure the harness adjuster can potentially detach from the seat shell, thereby insufficiently restraining the child and comprising safety while driving. The following models are subject to the recall:
- BritaxChaperone E9L952J (Black/Silver)2010 2011
- BritaxChaperone E9L952K (Red)2010 2011
- BritaxChaperone E9L952L (Cowmooflage)2010 2011
Britax has received approximately 57 reports of incidents in the United States, and three in Canada.
Customers are advised to contact Britax Child Safety, Inc. via their website or toll-free number 1-888-427-4829 to request a free repair kit.
Due to the potential seriousness of the defect, if the harness adjuster has separated from the car shell, customers should discontinue use of the seat and contact Britax immediately.
Approximately 3,600 of the car seats were sold in Canada.
