NHTSA Campaign ID Number : 15C001
Synopsis : Graco Children's Products Inc. (Graco) is recalling
certain ComfortSport child restraints, model numbers 1813040 and 1794333;
Ready Ride child restraints, model numbers 1924520 and 1924519; and Classic
Ride child restraints, model number 1812930. These seats were manufactured
between March 1, 2014, and February 28, 2015. The affected convertible
child restraints are missing a statement on the affixed label that informs
of location of the instruction manual. Without the notice on the fixed
label, these seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213 "Child Restraint Systems." If the label
does not inform the seat owner of the instruction manual's location, the
owner may not be able to refer to it and may use the seat improperly,
increasing the risk of injury to the child in the event of a crash. Graco
will notify the registered owners and will mail them corrected labels to
affix to the child restraints. The recall is expected to begin February 22,
2016. Owners may contact Graco at 1-800-345-4109.

Synopsis : Graco Children's Products, Inc. (Graco) is recalling certain Extend2Fit Convertible child seats manufactured November 27, 2015, to January 20, 2016. The affected child seats may have the recline label affixed at the wrong location, resulting in confusion about how to use the seat properly. As such, these child seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems." If the instructions are followed as shown, a rear-facing infant could be placed in an upright position and/or a forward-facing toddler could be placed in a recline position. Either scenario may increase the risk of injury to the child in the event of a crash. Graco will notify owners and provide a new corrected label with application instructions, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 26, 2016. Owners may contact Graco customer service at 1-800-345-4109.
