| Description |
CERTAIN GRACO COMFORTSPORT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, MODEL 8C02MRC2, MANUFACTURED ON OCTOBER 22, 2007, WERE NOT CERTIFIED TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 213, 'CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS.' THESE SEATS WERE PRODUCED WITH CONVOLUTED FOAM THAT WAS 1.5" THICK INSTEAD OF THE 1" THICK FOAM THAT GRACO SPECIFIED AND TESTED. SEATS WITH 1.5" FOAM HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED SO IT IS UNCLEAR AS TO WHAT IMPACT THIS WILL HAVE ON COMPLIANCE TO THE STANDARD AND ON CHILD SEAT SAFETY. |
| Consequences |
THE PURPOSE OF THIS STANDARD IS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN KILLED OR INJURED IN MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES. |
| Corrective action |
GRACO WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE AFFECTED SEATS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JANUARY 2008. OWNERS CAN CONTACT GRACO AT 1-800-345-4109. |
