Infant Child Restraint System Recall

In a news release at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov , the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a consumer advisory on February 5, 2010, announcing a recall involving certain Maxi-Cos Mico infant child restraint systems manufactured by Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG).  According to NHTSA’s news release, Dorel is recalling 22,850 of the restraint systems because of attachment difficulties between the infant carrier and the base.  In this regard, NHTSA stated that if the carrier is improperly mounted to the base, the child could be injured in the event of a crash.  Owners may contact Dorel at 1-877-657-9546 or visit their website at www.djgusa.com .  In addition, consumers with questions about the safety recall campaign may call NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.  Further, consumers may sign-up for recall notifications from the federal government by visiting www.safercar.gov and clicking on the “e-mail” or “RSS” option to register.
