Certain child car seats may not comply with the requirements of the Canada Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations (RSSR).

Seats And Restraints#2015364August 11, 2015
15,154 units affected
On certain car seats, the harness adjuster buttons (red) could remain down in the “release” position after the harness is tightened, allowing the shoulder harness to loosen from a child’s movement while secured in the seat. In the event of a crash, the child may not be adequately restrained, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: The manufacturer will provide a repair kit containing a non-toxic food grade lubricant to apply directly to the harness adjuster button with instructions and a label to indicate that the repair has been completed. <a href="http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safedrivers-childsafety-1439.html">Click here for more information</a>
