Car seat recall
DJG Alpha Omega Harness Adjustment Strap Public Notice/Recall
Dorel Juvenile Group USA announces a voluntary recall involving Cosco® Alpha Omega®, Cosco Alpha Omega Elite®, Eddie Bauer® 3-in-1 car seats, Eddie Bauer® 3 in 1 Deluxe and Safety 1st® Alpha Omega Elite car seats. A Strap Replacement Kit to be provided to All Owners Please refer to the chart below to see if your model may be affected. (see link for chart) Manufacture date codes between 11/1/2003 - 12/31/2005 Monitoring of consumer contact and subsequent evaluations of the restraints enabled DJG to determine under certain conditions, the harness adjustment strap may slip within the metal adjustment mechanism that controls the tightness of the shoulder harness. This may allow the harness securing the child in the restraint system to loosen. While the occurrence of the harness loosening is extremely rare, if it were to occur in the event of a crash the child may move forward more than if the slippage did not occur. This may increase the risk of injury. No injuries have been reported as a result of the slippage. Dorel Juvenile Group will provide consumers with a kit enabling them to fix the problem by simply replacing the adjuster strap. The kit containing the replacement strap and illustrated instructions is available for distribution. All owners of these restraints who returned a registration card should receive a notification regarding this recall. The affected seats should not be returned to the retailer. If you have not registered your car seat but have one of the models named above, please visit www.djgusa.com and follow the links provided to see if your car seat is affected by the recall. Or call the toll free hotline at 1.800.219.0509 for US consumers or 1.800.219.0540 for Canadian consumers. -- ******* The 3 sentences that will get you through life. #1, cover for me #2, oh, good idea boss. #3, It was like that when I got here -Homer Simpson http://www.flickr.com/photos/stormlady/ |
