What happened

Kids II (formerly Pansy Ellen Products) is recalling approximately 680,000 "Graduate Booster Seats," model #415, sold nationwide between 1987 and 1991 for $10.99 to $13.99 each. The booster seat consists of a blue base and white seat that slides into four different slotted positions. The hazard is that the white plastic seat may slide out of or fall from its slotted position in the blue base due to inadequate engagement between the two components. Kids II is aware of more than 400 incidents of seat failures, some of which have resulted in minor injuries including bumps, cuts, and bruises to children.

Consumers who own this booster seat should examine it to determine if the white seat fits securely into the slots of the blue base. If the seat does not fit securely, the consumer can obtain a $5.00 partial refund by mailing the white seat to Kids II, Inc., 1245 Old Alpharetta Road, Alpharetta, GA 30202. Consumers with questions may contact Kids II at (678) 867-0761.
