Check your backseat for another car seat recall.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Thursday the recall of more than 71,000 infant car seats manufactured by Britax.
According to the recall notice, “the car seat carry handle can crack and break allowing the seat to fall unexpectedly, posing a risk of injury to the infant.”
The recall affects the B-Safe 35 and B-Safe 35 Elite models, manufactured between Oct. 1, 2014 and July 1, 2015.
According to a safety alert posted on the commission’s website, the affected products can be used as a rear-facing only car seat and as an infant carrier. The car seat/carriers have a canopy, black shell and base, and were sold in a variety of colors.
Britax will send a remedy kit to owners. The kit contains instructions and a bracket that reinforces the carry handle.
Owners can call Britax at 800-683-2045 or go to us.Britax.com for more info.
