Evenflo Recalls Over 56,000 Child Booster Car Seats Due to Design Defect

Evenflo will recall approximately 56,247 Transitions 3-in-1 Combination Booster

Seats due to a design defect involving the central front adjuster button. The
central front adjuster (CFA) controls the seats internal harness to loosen the
restrains on the child. It was discovered recently that the position of the CFA is
in reach for the child to activate the CFA and subsequently loosen the harness that
is restraining the occupant. If the internal harness is not tightened snugly
around the child, this increases the risk of injury for the child in the event of a
crash.

The model numbers affected in this recall include 34411686, 34411695, and
34411029. These car seats were manufactured from December 18, 2014 through January
29, 2016.
Evenflo will notify owners and provide a remedy kit that includes a replacement
seat pad and CFA assembly, free of charge. This will eliminate a childs access to
activate the CFA button. The recall is expected to begin during February 2016.
Owners may contact Evenflo at www.transitions.evenflo.com or 1-800-233-5921.
Note: This safety issue only affects the use of the seat in the forward-facing
harnessed booster (22-65 lbs. and 28-50 in.) configuration.

product design, the risks inherent in the design, feasible alternatives, and
appropriate warnings. In a car accident, we examine whether the car was truly

Toyota Recalls 2.87 Million RAV4s and Vanguards Globally Due to Seat Belt Defect
2012 Toyota RAV4
Toyota has announced that it will recall 2.87 vehicles globally, including over 1.3
million vehicles in the United States due to defective seat belts. The defect
stems from Toyotas 4×4 vehicles (the RAV4 and the Vanguard) where the lap-
shoulder seatbelts in the vehicles second-row seat could come in contact with the
metal seat cushion frame. If this would occur during a frontal crash, the seat
belts could be cut and would not restrain the passengers within the vehicle.
This recall affects RAV4 4×4 models manufactured between July 2005 and August
2014, and the Vanguard 4×4 (which are only sold in Japan) models produced
between October 2005 and January 2016.

the affected vehicles.

Volkswagen, Audi, and BMW Recall 1.7 Million Vehicles due to Takata Air Bag Defect
Volkswagen, Audi, and BMW are joining the continuing recall of the Takata air bag
inflators defect by recalling 1.7 million vehicles which involve 21 different
model vehicles spanning from 2005 to 2015 model years. The problem with the air
bags is with the inflators, which have exploded when involved in accidents causing
shards of sharp metal into the vehicle. Takata reports that manufacturing
problems, together with exposure to moisture in cars in humid regions, can cause
the propellant to degrade. This causes the propellant to burn too strongly when
the airbag is deployed, and ruptures the inflator. Last May. Takata finally
acknowledged the obvious and admitted that their airbags were defective.
Since 2008, approximately 24 million U.S. vehicles have been recalled due to this
defect.

vehicles, which include the following models and years:

Graco Issues Two Separate Recalls Due to Missing Warning Statement
Graco has issued two separate recalls involving four models of their child
restraint systems due to the car seats not meeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 213 regarding the fixed label on the car seat.
The first recall affects 31,838 Graco Classic Ride, ComfortSport, and Ready Ride
car seats. These car seats were manufactured approximately between March 1, 2014
to February 28, 2015. These child seats are missing the statement on the affixed
warning label that informs consumers of the location of the instruction manual, and
a statement that consumers should follow the instructions in the printed manual and
on the car seat. The following models are affected: 1794333, 1813040, 1812930,
1924519, and 1924520.
Graco will notify the registered owners and will mail them corrected labels to
affix to the child restraints. The recall is expected to begin February 22, 2016.
Owners may contact Graco at 1-800-345-4109.
The second recall affects Gracos Extend2Fit Convertible child restraints. In
these affected child seats, the recline label affixed is at the wrong location,
resulting in confusion about how to use the seat properly. If the instructions are
followed as shown currently, a child could be placed in the wrong position in the
child seat, increasing the likelihood of injury in the event of the crash. These
child restraints were manufactured from November 27, 2025 to January 20, 20116, and
affect approximately 15,000 child seats.
