What happened

Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Mico infant child restraint systems and base-only models produced from February 18, 2008 through June 28, 2008. The issue involves interference between the mounting bracket and the base due to base warping or inadequate mating between the shell and base mounting bracket, which can result in difficulty attaching or detaching the shell from the base. If the shell is improperly mounted to the base as a result, a child could be injured in a crash.

Dorel Juvenile Group will notify all registered owners and send a free remedy kit containing two base springs, a hex wrench, and instructions for replacing the base springs. The safety campaign began on March 5, 2010. Affected consumers should contact Dorel Juvenile Group at 1-877-657-9546.
