Re-activateEvenflo Thursday recalled 1,038 of its Discovery infant car seats because some of the seats may have been shipped without complete assembly of the red release handle located on the back of the seat. Under certain circumstances, the seat may become separated from the base, possibly resulting in serious injury to the child.
On its Web site, Evenflo explains that that recall involves the "302Z" model seats manufactured on Feb. 4 of this year and sold at Wal-Mart and Target stores from March 11 to 21. The full model numbers are 3021769Z and 3021854Z and can be found on a sticker on the bottom of the seat (see photos).
Evenflo is notifying owners of the car seat who sent in the registration card. Further information can be obtained by visiting Evenflo's Web site safety.evenflo.com. Evenflo is advising caregivers:
In addition in February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall of one million Evenflo Discovery child safety seats because the seats could fail to adequately protect children in a side impact collision. The seats recalled were Models 390, 391, 534, and 552 manufactured between April 2005 and January 29, 2008.
And by the way, we heard about this recall after signing up for alerts about car seat and tire recalls from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
