A recall has been issued for a certain car seat.

According to information forwarded from the Pettis County Health Center says Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 Convertible child seats. This is in regard to a forward-facing installation using a lap-only seat belt.

The information says when the seat is installed in the forward-facing position and secured to the car using the lap belt- without also using the top tether- the seat may not adequately protect the child from a head injury in the event of a crash. As such, these child seats fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, “Child Restraint Systems.”

If the seat is installed with only the lap belt, the child has an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.

No remedy has been established at this time.

The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact Dorel customer service at 1 (877) 657-9546.
