Britax is recalling certain B-Safe 35 and B-Safe 35 Elite infant car seats and B-Safe 35 Travel Systems manufactured between October 1, 2014, and July 1, 2015. The carry handles on these seats may develop cracks that can cause the handle to fracture, potentially resulting in the seat falling and injuring the infant. The recall does not affect the safety of the seat when properly secured in a vehicle or on a stroller, and it is safe to continue using the car seat in these configurations. However, owners should not lift or carry the seat by its handle until repairs are made.
Britax will notify all registered owners and provide a remedy kit containing a carry handle reinforcing bracket at no cost. The recall began on January 21, 2016. Affected consumers should contact Britax customer service at 1-800-683-2045 or Britax.Recall@Britax.com to receive the remedy kit and arrange for installation.
