What’s wrong with it?
IF WEB CREEP WERE TO OCCUR, IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE CHILD COULD MOVE TOO FAR FORWARD, POSSIBLY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.
CERTAIN DJG DESIGNER 22 REAR-FACING ONLY INFANT CHILD RESTRAINTS, MODELS: EDDIE BAUER, SAFETY 1ST , AND COSCO, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN AUGUST 19, 2003, AND OCTOBER 20, 2004.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE GB1B LINE CODE LOCATED NEXT TO THE MODEL NUMBER ON THE CHILD RESTRAINT INDICATES THE UNIT WAS MANUFACTURED BY GOOD BABY PRODUCTS AND IS THE ONLY LINE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
ANY LINE CODE OTHER THAN GB1B, SUCH AS DE1B, IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
