Graco Recalling Millions Of Child Seats

By Leave a Comment

Graco recently announced a recall of over 3.8 million car seats due to a harness buckling issue.  The  National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)  advised that  it may be difficult to remove the child from the Graco child seat restraint, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a vehicle crash, fire, or other emergency, in which a prompt exit from the vehicle is required.  The NHTSA also advised that Graco is voluntarily recalling the child seats.
