As of Friday, February 26, 2016, Evenflo is recalling 56,000+ safety seats due to loose harnesses. This recall is for the Transitions Three-in-One Combination Boost Seat that was made from December 18, 2014 through January 26, 2016. This recall is in place due to children loosening the harness and increasing the chance of injury in an accident although no injuries have been reported.
Evenflo found out about this problem due to their analysis of customer feedback. They are aware of this and will be notifying owners and sending them a kit with a new seat pad and front adjuster. The front adjuster button is what allows the harness to loosen. If a child presses it, they can loosen the harness.
Owners can order the repair online from Evenflo or call the company at 1-800-233-5921, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY
1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
