FOXBOROUGH, Mass., Sept. 15, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. in the U.S.A. (DJ USA) is fully cooperating with the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with respect to a
planned voluntary recall announced by NHTSA for certain
Maxi-Cosi Pria 70 and Pria 85
convertible car seats.
DJ USA is preparing to recall
2019-2021 Pria 70 designed for use with children weighing 9 to 70
pounds, as well as the Pria 85 and Pria 85 Max car seats, designed
for use with children weighing 14 to 85 pounds. For the three
models, when the seat is installed in the forward-facing position
and secured to the vehicle using the lap belt without also using
the top tether, the seat may not adequately protect the child from
head injury in the event of a crash. There have been no
injuries or incidents reported related to this condition. The
Pria 70, Pria 85 and Pria 85 Max models can continue to be used in
the rear-facing and forward-facing modes for children up to 65
pounds and 49 inches in height according to all labeled
installation methods.
DJ USA and NHTSA have together
agreed on the remedy to consumers whose car seats are affected by
the recall. Labels and manuals adjusting the weight and height
rating of the Pria 85, Pria 85 Max and Pria 70 to 65 pounds or 49
inches will be sent automatically to all registered consumers or to
others who contact us within the scope. For consumers with an
affected car seat wanting an option above 65 pounds or 49 inches,
DJ USA will offer a Maxi-Cosi
RodiSport Booster free of charge by contacting us.
DJ USA's purpose is to create a
confident parenting journey that nurtures children into a
meaningful future – striving for excellence and caring for precious
life.
