Evenflo recalls 325,000 child-safety seats over choking hazard
Evenflo, a prominent manufacturer of child-safety seats, has announced a recall of approximately 325,000 units of its Gold Revolve360 Slim and Revolve360 Slim models due to a potential choking hazard. The issue stems from inadequately secured head-restraint foam, which could be picked off by children and ingested.
Details of the Recall
The recall affects seats manufactured between December 1, 2022, and December 8, 2024. The foam in the head restraints of these products is not properly secured, posing a choking risk if small pieces are detached and ingested by young passengers. Parents and caregivers concerned about their child's safety are encouraged to verify whether their product is affected by consulting Evenflo’s recall report.
Resolution Plan
Evenflo has committed to resolving the issue by providing affected customers with additional tape seal and installation instructions at no cost. Notification letters regarding the recall will begin to be sent to registered owners starting October 31. For those seeking assistance or information before that date, the company has advised contacting Evenflo customer service at 800-233-5921. Additionally, consumers can visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website to confirm whether their car seat is subject to this or any other recalls.
