Car seat recall: 4MOMS SELF INSTALLING CAR SEAT
Recall reported Dec 30, 2016 · 1,622 units
The problem
Thorley Industries LLC d/b/a 4moms (4moms) is recalling certain 4moms Self Installing Rear-facing Infant Car Seats, model number 1032, manufactured July 1, 2016, to October 31, 2016. Due to a tight rivet, the affected car seats have a coupling hook that may not properly engage around the coupling pin, preventing the infant carrier portion from securely attaching to the seat base.
Hazard
If the infant carrier does not properly attach to the base, the carrier can detach in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
What to do
4moms will notify owners and will replace the infant carrier portion, free of charge. The recall began on January 10, 2017. Owners may contact 4moms at 4moms.com/recalls or by calling 1-888-614-6667.
