What happened

Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company is recalling certain CE White school bus seat assemblies with seat bottom cushions manufactured between February 2, 2015, and April 1, 2015. These seats contain a virgin foam core that may not meet federal flammability safety standards, which means they could catch fire more easily if exposed to an ignition source, posing a fire hazard.

Affected school bus seat bottoms will be replaced with compliant foam at no charge. Bus manufacturers and their dealers will handle the replacement as part of the recall that began May 1, 2015. Owners of affected seats should contact HSM customer service at 1-800-438-5341.

Hazard

If the seats are built with this seat bottom foam core, the seats may not resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source, increasing the risk that a fire may start or spread.

What should I do?

HSM will notify the bus manufacturers that used the affected seat foam cores, and their dealers will replace the school bus seat bottoms with foam that is compliant to the safety standard, free of charge. The recall began on May 1, 2015. Owners may contact HSM customer service at 1-800-438-5341.
