Recall 2014478: model years 2011, 2012, 2013
What's wrong: On certain infant car seats, the buckle may become contaminated with foreign material, such as food or dried liquids, and may over time become progressively more difficult to unlatch or become stuck in the latched position. If this occurs, users may experience difficulty unlatching or be unable to unlatch the buckle, which could increase the risk of injury in an emergency situation.
What to do: Registered owners will be sent a letter containing proper care instructions and information on how to obtain a replacement buckle. Non-registered owners of affected car seats, or owners who have moved should contact Evenflo at 1-800-490-7591, or register online at www.embracebuckle.evenflo.com.
How do I know if my Evenflo EMBRACE 35 is affected?
Check the label on the side, back or bottom of the seat for the model number and date of manufacture, and compare them with the model years and dates in the official notice.
Is the fix free?
Recall remedies are free from the maker. The official notice lists how to get it, and Recallify can contact the maker for you.
