What’s wrong with it?
A child seat that does not maintain proper recline position may not adequately secure a child in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, should another passenger put their hand in the recline mechanism when it shifts out of position, their risk of injury is increased.
Evenflo Company, Inc.
(Evenflo) is recalling certain All4One child seats.
Please refer to Evenflo’s recall report for specific model numbers.
In rear-facing mode, the adjustable recline mechanism may shift out of proper position.
As such, these child seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213, “Child Restraint Systems.”
