Infant Car Seats Recalled by Britax Due to Laceration and Choking Hazards

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary product recall involving 23,000 Chaperone Infant Car Seats manufactured in China and imported into the US by Britax Child Safety. The harness chest clip can break and pose a laceration hazard. Due to its small size, it also can pose a choking hazard.

This recall involves Chaperone infant car seats with model numbers E9L95P2 (Red Mill), E9L95P3, E9L95P5 (Cowmooflage), E9L69N9 (Moonstone) manufactured between April 2009 and May 2010. The white serial label with the seat's serial number, model number, and manufacture date can be found on the underside of the car seat. The recalled car seats were sold at independent retailers nationwide and on the Britax website between April 2009 and May 2010. The product also was recalled by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).
