GIGANTIC Graco Car Seat Recall!!
Graco is recalling 3.8 million car seats and the NHTSA is suggesting they recall up to 1.8 million more! This goes back to models from 2009! This is from Safercar.gov-
Make: GRACO
Models: ARGOS 70, CLASSIC RIDE 50, COMFORT SPORT, COZY CLINE, MY RIDE 65, MY RIDE 70, MY RIDE W/SAFETY SURROUND, NAUTILUS, NAUTILUS ELITE, SIZE 4 ME 70, SMARTSEAT
Production Dates: -
Defect: Graco Children’s Products, Inc. (Graco) is recalling model year 2009 through 2013 toddler and booster child restraints, models Cozy Cline, Comfort Sport, Classic Ride 50, My Ride 65, My Ride with Safety Surround, My Ride 70, Size 4 Me 70, Smartseat, Nautilus, Nautilus Elite, and Argos 70. The alleged defect involves difficulty in unlatching the harness buckle. In some cases, the buckle becomes stuck in a latched condition so that it cannot be opened by depressing the buckle’s release button.
Consequence: It may be difficult to remove the child from the restraint, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a vehicle crash, fire, or other emergency, in which a prompt exit from the vehicle is required.
Corrective Action: The manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a remedy or notification schedule. Owners may contact Graco at 1-800-345-4109 (toll-free) or 1-330-869-7225.
Notes: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
And the Huffington Post said-
“The company will send replacement buckles for free to owners who registered their seats. Owners who didn’t register their seats but want free replacement buckles can call the company’s consumer hotline at 800-345-4109 or visit its website.”
I don't have any still in car seats but if you do and have a Graco model, please check your model and see if it's included and if you're not sure, please call the 800 number! Keep those babies safe!
