Britax has issued a voluntary recall of the Chaperone Infant Car Seat. Although there are no reported injuries, the rivet used to attach the harness adjuster to the shell may have been improperly installed and could possibly detach from the shell. If the harness adjuster were to detach from the car seat shell, the harness straps would not secure your child properly, resulting in increased risk of injury if you were in a crash.
Affected models were manufactured between September 1, 2010 and April 30, 2011, and include the following model numbers: E9L692J, E9L692K, E9L692L, E9L692M, E9L952J, E9L952K, and E9L952L.
Britax is providing a remedy kit which includes a harness adjuster and instructions for installing it. If you registered your Chaperone, affected seat owners will automatically receive a remedy kit and the instructions.
