The short answer

NHTSA received FISHER-PRICE’s report on Apr 4, 1990. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 24, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

CHILD USING THE SEAT WOULD NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED IN A CRASH, AND COULD SUFFER INJURY; ALSO, THE SEATS WOULD NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS213.

THE RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY HAS A ‘TONGUE’ USED TO ENGAGE THE BREAST SHIELD OF THE CHILD RESTRAINT; A STAMPING DIE USED ON THIS TONGUE COULD CAUSE THE PART TO FAIL AND COMPLETELY SEPARATE IN A CRASH.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
