Problem: |
The existing label understates the
height limitation of the child when the car seat is used in the rear facing mode. This current
label states a height of 66 cm (26"). The corrected label states that when used in the rear facing
mode the restraint can accommodate a child to a maximum height of 89 cm (35"). This will allow the
restraint system to be used safely in the rear facing mode over a longer period of time. |
|
|
Safety Risk: |
This is not a safety issue. |
|
|
Company Action: |
Transport Canada in cooperation with the
Dorel Juvenile Group (Canada) wishes to advise the public of a correction to a label and instructions
on several models of Cosco convertible infant/child restraints. |
|
|
Consumer Recourse: |
The model number is located on a label
on the side of the restraint system. Consumers should contact the Cosco Customer Service hotline at
1-800-536-4070 to request free replacement labels for both the restraint system and
the instruction booklet.
