Car Seat Recalls

Dorel China America (DCA) is recalling 28,800 Babidéal Storm Booster Car Seats, model BC901BPXL, sold exclusively at Family Dollar Stores.

The label attached to the fabric cover may not have the required safety warnings and instructions.

Without the safety warnings and instructions, caregivers may not know the risks or how to use the child seat properly, increasing the risk of an injury in the event of a crash.

What to do

DCA will notify the registered owners, and will provide a replacement fabric cover that has a compliant warning label in place, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin December 9, 2019. Owners may contact DCA customer service at (877) 657-9546 or text (812) 373-6673.

WAYB is recalling 4,558 WAYB Pico child restraints manufactured between March 1, 2019, and May 12, 2019.

The headrest's aluminum tubular frame can break allowing the headrest to detach, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

What to do

The manufacturer is still developing a plan to replace the headrests on the recalled seats.

The recall is expected to begin September 30, 2019.

Owners may contact WAYB customer service at (888) 924-9292.

Harmony Juvenile Products is recalling 148,165 Harmony Big Boost Deluxe booster seats.

In the event of a crash, the seat belt may cause excessive force to be applied to the restrained child's chest, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

The remedy for this recall is still under development.

The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Harmony customer service at 1-877-306-1001.

Combi USA is recalling 39,395 Coccoro Convertible Child Restraints, model number 8220, manufactured January 1, 2009, to June 29, 2016.

When the car seat is installed in a forward facing position and secured with only the vehicle’s lap belt, excessive force may be transmitted to the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury. As such, these child seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

In the event of a crash, the seat occupant is at an increased risk of injury.

This recall does not affect the use of the Coccoro child restraint when it is installed in a rearward-facing position.

What to do

Combi will notify owners, and provide them with a cover to be added to the bottom of the seat, free of charge. The recall was expected to begin in July 2016.

Owners may contact Combi customer service at 1-888-232-3294, or by going to http://registration.combiusa.com/recall. Combi's number for this recall is 610.
