Evenflo Co. has initiated a recall on over 14,000 child car seats which were manufactured between November 24th, 2009, and April 9th, 2010. The recall has been initiated because there have been reports of cracks developing in the products during field tests, in which some of the seats failed.

Evenflo has asked anyone who has purchased the recalled car seats to immediately stop their use. The company will be sending a remedy kit to those with the recalled models. The repair kit will consist of an easily installed bracket that can be installed without the use of tools. In order to tell if your model has been recalled, simply check the model number. If it is any of the following, then your car seat has been a part of this recall. U.S. models are 3101198, 3101980, 31011048, 31011049, and 31011059 and in Canada it is only model number 31011057C.

Evenflo is one of the worlds largest makers of car seats, and was founded in 1920. it is now owned by a private equity firm, Harvest Partners, and is headquartered in Miamisburg, Ohio.
