What’s wrong with it?
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE CHILD MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY RESTRAINED, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.
LERADO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MIA MODA INFANT CHILD RESTRAINTS AND BASES, MODELS VIVA AND VIVA SUPREME, MODEL NOS. 5000 (SEAT), 5001 (BASE), 5050 (SEAT), 5051 (BASE), 5070 (SEAT), 5071 (BASE), 5080 (SEAT), AND 5081 (BASE).
THE HARNESS SPLITTER PLATE LOCATED ON THE REAR OF THE SEAT HAS SHARP EDGES WHICH CAN CUT THE HARNESS.
ALSO, THE BASE COULD CRACK IN A CRASH.
