What’s wrong
IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, A LOOSE HARNESS AROUND THE CHILD COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
