Cosco CRS Recall
A recall has been issued for Cosco Child Restraint Systems manufactured by Dorel Juvenile Group. The units under this recall were manufactured from March 15 to August 1, 2002. There are 54,400 units that could potentially be affected, so please be sure to check the model number on your child’s CRS if you have purchased a Cosco car seat or booster seat.
The model numbers included in this recall can be found here.
These models were found to have webbing on the harnesses that was not strong enough to withstand significant exposure to sunlight. The webbing, if exposed to substantial amounts of sunlight, may degrade to the point that it is no longer able to provide adequate protection to a child in the event of a collision.
This safety recall is expected to begin on or about February 2, 2010. Dorel Juvenile Group will be contacting all owners who have registered their CRS, and will send replacement kits, along with instructions, free of charge.
Owners may call Dorel Juvenile Group toll free at 1-866-690-2539. You may also call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236, 1-800-424-9153, or visit www.safercar.gov.
If your child has been injured as a result of this defective child restraint system, please call our office at 1-877-829-7211 to discuss your potential claim.
