A total of 4,812 Britax child seats manufactured in 2012 are being recalled because the chest pads on the restraint harness are made of a soft, pliable material. If children were to bite or chew on the pads, small pieces could break off, presenting a choking hazard.

Therefore, consumers are advised to call Britax Child Safety, Inc. at 1-888-427-4829 to request a remedy kit containing replacement chest pads and instructions for their installation.
