EvenFlo Car Seats can be Dangerous

The Evenflo Corporation has issued a product recall of 1 million Discovery Infant Car Seats, after tests demonstrated the seats might potentially become separated from its base in high-impact side collisions. Testing by Evenflo and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) illustrated a potential safety risk to children, said National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The following Evenflo models affected are the Discovery Infant Car Seat Models 390, 391, 534 and 552, made April 2005 to Jan. 29, 2008.

To resolve this matter, Evenflo is supplying owners of the seat models a free supplemental dual-hook fastener to ensure the seat remains attached. The privately held company, based in suburban Dayton, Ohio, said it is not necessary for owners of the car seats to stop using them or return them. Rob Matteucci, Evenflo's chief executive, said there have been no reports of serious injuries or deaths. Seat owners should call Evenflo at 800.356.2229 from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. CST to order the fastener or they can visit www.evenflo.com/discovery
