Recall 2024716: model years 2023, 2024
What's wrong: Issue: The text on the date of manufacture label is too small. Canadian regulations require certain text on labels to be of a minimum size. Safety Risk: The small text size used is unlikely to affect safety. Corrective Action: This is not a recall. Owners can continue to use their seat. Clek has made changes to correct all future labels.
Recall 2018451: model year 2016
What's wrong: Certain booster seats may not comply with the flammability requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 213.2 - Booster Seats. In the case of a vehicle fire, the fabric cover may not self-extinguish or may burn too quickly, accelerating the spread of the fire, which could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Owners should contact Clek by email or by phone as soon as possible to obtain a replacement seat bottom fabric cover. Note: Only Oobr models with “noire” coloured fabric that were manufactured between April 1, 2016 and November 22, 2016 are affected by this notice. <a href="http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/clek-oobr-booster-seats-non-compliance-flammability.html">Click here for more information</a>
