CAR SEATS RECALLED
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Friday that certain Dorel Juvenile Group's Maxi-Cosi Mico infant child restraints are being recalled. The recall was prompted because of attachment difficulties between the infant carrier and the base. If the carrier is improperly mounted to the base, the child could be injured in the event of a crash.
The affected models include the Maxi-Cosi infant child restraint systems, models 22-371 and 22-372, and Maxi-Cosi Mico infant child restraint system - base only, model 22-515, produced from July 2007 through February 17, 2008.
Consumers should stop using these products immediately. Dorel will replace the Mico base free of charge.
