FOXBOROUGH, Mass., Sept. 11, 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 according to all labeled installation methods.
DJ USA is working with NHTSA on
the remedy to consumers and will provide additional information as
available.
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.
