Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling 26,558 Eddie Bauer and Safety 1st child seats that were manufactured in 2012.
During testing, the plastic seat shell cracked, allowing the seatback to recline excessively and increase the risk of injury from impact forces being transferred to the child during a crash. For the Enspira 65 model specifically, this crack also exposed sharp edges which could increase the risk of injury to a child occupant, or a parent/caregiver manipulating the seat.
All registered owners will receive a replacement seat shell kit and installation instructions. Non-registered owners and those who have moved should contact Dorel Juvenile Group at 1-866-446-2628. In any case, no child seat should be returned to the retailer.
Affected models include:
