The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in cooperation with the manufacturer, have Friday issued a national recall of an infant car seat.
When used as a carrier for an infant, there is a chance the handle can loosen and break off, posing a fall hazard and safety threat to infants being carried.
The product is made by Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. of Columbus, Ind.
Dorel has received 77 reports of the child restraint handle fully or partially coming off the car seat/carrier, resulting in at least three injuries to infants, including bumps, bruises and head injuries.
This recall involves Safety 1st, Cosco, Eddie Bauer and Disney-branded infant car seat/carriers with the following model numbers and that were manufactured from Jan. 6, 2008 through April 6, 2009.
The model number and manufacture date are located on a label on the side of the car seat/carrier. They were sold with Travel Systems.
The stroller portion of the travel system is not affected by this recall.
