Issue:
As a result of an internal audit, Britax Child Safety, Inc. (“Britax”) has
found that restraint systems manufactured during this time period fail to comply
with the labelling requirements of the Canadian
Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cushions Safety Regulations.
The affected units were produced with a standalone French label and a
bilingual (English/French) label. Together, the two labels do not provide all
information and warnings in English as required by the regulations. This label
non-compliance condition is the result of certain label design changes that were
being implemented.
Safety Risk:
All information and warnings required on the two Roundabout labels are also
contained in the bilingual (English/French) instruction manual, which is
attached to the restraint system. The label non-compliance condition does not
affect the use of the restraint system.
Company Action and Consumer Recourse:
Britax will provide a free label replacement kit and detailed instructions to
all registered owners beginning December 18, 2007. After December 18, 2007,
consumers that have an affected Roundabout and have not registered their
restraint system should contact Britax at 1-800-683-2045. To verify product
registration and order a repair kit online, visit
www.BritaxUSA.com.
Until the non-compliant labels are replaced, the restraint system can
continue to be used in accordance with the instructions found in the manual. The
affected restraint systems should not be returned to the Britax retailer.
