INDIANA – According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), two major manufacturers of child safety seats, Evenflo and Dorel Juvenile Group, have issued recalls due to non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, “Child Restraint Systems. “
Evenflo Recall: Missing Recall Registration Cards
Evenflo Company, Inc. has initiated a recall, NHTSA Recall ID Number 25C003, affecting specific child seats and travel systems. The issue stems from the absence of the required USA recall registration card. This oversight means the affected products do not meet federal safety standards.
