Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Safety 1st Comfort Ride 3-in-1, Boost & Go 3-in-1, Boost & Go Essential 3-in-1, and MagicSquad 3-in-1 harness booster child seats. The forward-facing installation label incorrectly states the height range.
Recall Information
Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Safety 1st Comfort Ride 3-in-1, Boost & Go 3-in-1, Boost & Go Essential 3-in-1, and MagicSquad 3-in-1 harness booster child seats. The forward-facing installation label incorrectly states the height range. As such, these child seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213, “Child Restraint Systems.”
The internal harness height range on the forward-facing installation label of each affected product is incorrect and inconsistent with the height range correctly stated in the instruction manual included with the child restraint. The height range incorrectly stated on the forward-facing installation label of each affected product states 43-57 inches and the height range correctly stated in the instruction manual says 34-49 inches. Each of the affected products have been determined to be noncompliant to FMVSS No. 213 S5.5.2(f)(4). The internal harness of the affected child restraint systems are not intended to be used by a child with a height taller than 49 inches, and therefore the forward-facing installation label is incorrect.
