Graco Recalls 11 Child Car Seats Models Due to Issues With Buckle Failing to Release

Safety

According to CNN, in one of the biggest recalls of its type to date, baby equipment giant Graco has agreed to recall 3.7 million child car seats. The voluntary recall by Graco originally announced in February 2014 was in response to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) request which involves 11 of 18 car seat models. The main issue is that car seats and harnessed booster seats made between 2009-2013 may have buckles that are hard to unbuckle or can become stuck, potentially making difficult or impossible to remove a child quickly in case of an emergency.
