SAN ANTONIO – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced one company is recalling certain car seats due to improper labeling.

According to their website, the NHTSA said Dorel Juvenile Group, a car seat maker and juvenile care brand, is recalling around 73,144 car seats for children.

The height range on the label is incorrect, increasing the injury risk to children if a crash happens.

Additionally, it doesn’t comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard requirements for their “Child Restraint Systems,” the NHTSA said.

The NHTSA said only certain model numbers of the following seats are affected:

  • Safety 1st Comfort Ride 3-in-1
  • Boost & Go 3-in-1
  • Boost & Go Essential 3-in-1
  • MagicSquad 3-in-1 harness booster child seats

Dorel said it would mail owners a free, corrected label. However, a schedule for sending recall notifications has not been set.

Users can call Dorel’s customer service at 1-877-657-9546 or comfort-ride-recall@djgusa.com.
