Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Britax is recalling certain Chaperon infant car seats (models E9L69N9 Moonstone, E9L69P2 Red Mill, E9L69P3 Savannah, and E9L69P5 Cowmooflage) manufactured between April 2009 and May 2010. The chest clip that positions the harness straps across an infant's shoulders was incorrectly produced and is more brittle than intended, which means it may break when the clip is engaged as the child is secured into the seat.
If the chest clip breaks, its sharp edges could cause skin lacerations, and fractured pieces may pose a choking hazard. Britax began mailing remedy kits to consumers on November 12, 2010, which include a replacement chest clip and instruction sheet. Consumers with affected seats should contact Britax Customer Service at 1-888-427-4829.
