A total of 118,557 Evenflo and Snugli child seats manufactured from 2012-2014 are being recalled because the buckle may over time become progressively more difficult to unlatch or stuck in the latched position after being contaminated with foreign material, such as food or dried liquids. This could increase the risk of injury in an emergency situation.
Registered owners will be sent a letter containing proper care instructions and information on how to obtain a replacement buckle. Non-registered owners should contact Evenflo at 1-800-490-7591, or register online at www.buckle.evenflo.com.
Another recall affects 17,700 Diono child seats manufactured in 2013. A memory foam insert in the seat pan fabric may have been omitted at time of manufacture. This could allow forces to be transmitted to the seat occupant which would exceed limits allowable by the standards, increasing the risk of injury.
All registered owners with affected child seats will be sent a repair kit containing memory foam inserts and installation instructions. Non-registered owners should contact Diono at 1-866-954-9786 to obtain a repair kit.
No seat should be returned to the store where they were purchased.
Affected models include:
