What happened

The First Years, Inc. announced a safety repair program on June 5, 1995, for approximately 41,000 of its 3-In-1 Booster Seats, Model 4200. Some seats included belt sets with improperly threaded buckles or only one belt instead of two, preventing the booster seat from being tightly secured to a full-size chair. This defect created a fall hazard, as the booster seat could tip and fall forward, potentially injuring a child. Four minor injuries were reported related to these belt problems. The affected seats, which are teal with white arms and trays, were sold nationwide from March through May 1995 at retailers including Toys R Us and Target Department Stores.

According to the record, affected consumers should call The First Years at (800) 533-6708 for information on repairing the booster seat belts. Newer booster seats currently in stores have corrected 4-piece belt sets with properly threaded buckles and can be identified by the new model number 4200C on the front of the box.
