Seats And Restraints#2014048February 20, 2014
140,265 units affected
On certain child car seats, the buckle may become contaminated with foreign material, such as food or dried liquids, and may over time become progressively more difficult to unlatch or become stuck in the latched position. If this occurs, users may experience difficulty unlatching or be unable to unlatch the buckle, which could increase the risk of injury in an emergency situation. Correction: Registered owners will be sent a letter containing proper care instructions and information on how to obtain a replacement buckle. Customers may also contact Graco at 1-800-667-8184 or at service@graco.net. <a href="http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/safedrivers-childsafety-1401.html">Click here for more information</a>

Certain child car seats may not comply with the Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety Regulations and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 - Child Restraint Systems and 213.2 - Booster Seats. The instruction manual and the labels affixed to the car seat contain various minor translation errors and omissions. Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy these technical non-compliance conditions. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance conditions are deemed to be non-safety related.
