What happened

Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling certain Safety 1st and Eddie Bauer child car seats manufactured between July 20, 2010, and May 18, 2011. The recalled models include Safety 1st Complete Air LX, Safety 1st Complete Air SE, Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite, and Eddie Bauer Deluxe 3 in 1 convertible seats. The seats have incorrect labeling on the rear-facing belt path installation arrows, which could be misinterpreted as pointing to the forward-facing vehicle belt path location, creating a risk of improper installation and potential child injury in a crash.

Owners of affected seats should call Dorel Juvenile Group toll-free at 1-877-675-2355 or visit http://www.djgusa.com/USA/eng/ and click on the "Safety Notices" button. The company will provide registered owners with free modified label kits to correct the installation instructions at no charge.
