Is my product affected?

Topeak Babyseat™ II Bicycle Carrier Seats

  • Brand Todson Inc., of North Attleboro, Mass.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Todson is recalling Topeak Babyseat II bicycle carrier seats with model numbers TCS2100, TCS2101, and TCS2102. The seats pose a hazard because children can place their fingers in the opening at the grab bar's hinge mechanism. When a caregiver lifts the grab bar to remove the child from the seat, the child's fingertips can become caught in the hinge, creating a risk of laceration and fingertip amputation. The gray plastic seats were sold in three styles with different rack types for mounting to bicycles.

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled carrier seats and contact Todson to receive a free hinge cover retrofit kit.
