Britax is recalling approximately 71,000 B-Safe 35 and B-Safe 35 Elite infant car seats and travel systems because the carry handle can suddenly crack and break. This defect can cause the carrier to fall unexpectedly while being carried, posing a significant injury risk to the infant inside. Britax has received 74 reports of handles fracturing or breaking, including one report of an infant who suffered a bump on the head after the carrier fell. These products were sold in various colors at major retailers like Babies R Us, Target, and online at Amazon from November 2014 through January 2016. Owners will receive a free repair kit to reinforce the handle.
The plastic carry handle on the car seat can develop fractures and break completely during use. If the handle fails while the carrier is being transported by hand, the seat can fall to the ground, potentially causing head injuries or other trauma to the infant.
Consumers should immediately stop carrying the car seat by the handle until the repair is installed. All consumers who have previously registered their product with Britax will automatically receive a free repair kit. To register to receive a repair kit or verify registration, visit www.bsafe35recall.com. Consumers can continue to use the car seat when secured in a vehicle or on a stroller.
