Car Seat Recall

June 5 , 2017 | Personal Injury

Many drivers take actions to ensure that their car ride is safe. These actions range from driving the speed limit to putting away their cellphones while driving. One action that people who will be traveling with children in the vehicle should do to help keep the children safe is to have them in a car seat. There are many car seats available, and one popular brand of car seats is Graco.

The company, Graco Children’s Products Inc., has issued a recall for greater than 25,000 car seats that they produced. The model of car seat affected by the recall is the Graco My Ride 65 car seat.

The recall comes after the discovery of a probelm with the convertible child restraint. The company believes that the material used on the harness may be unable to restrain the child if the vehicle were to be involved in a motor vehicle accident.

The model numbers of the car seats included in the recall are:

  • 1871689
  • 1908152
  • 1813074
  • 1872691
  • 1853478
  • 1877535
  • 1813015
  • 1794334

The recall is believed to come into affect on July 17th. The company plans to notify customers of the recalled car seats who have registered the seats of the recall. The company will provide those who own the recalled car seats with a new harness at no cost to the customer.
