Summary

phil&teds is recalling approximately 265 Travel System 26 (TS26) infant car seat adaptors in the U.S. and an additional 122 in Canada. These plastic adaptors, used to attach car seats to strollers, can crack or break during use, especially when stored in freezing temperatures. The company has received two reports of the adaptors breaking in cold weather. These black plastic adaptors were sold at baby specialty stores and online at Amazon.com, Babiesrus.com, and philandteds.com from April 2013 through March 2014 for about $40. Consumers should stop using the adaptors immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.

Risk

The plastic connectors can crack and break during use, causing the car seat to become unstable or detach from the stroller. This creates a risk that an infant could fall and suffer serious injuries.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your stroller adaptors for the model name 'TS26' and the brand name 'philandteds' printed on the plastic. One piece will be marked with an 'L' (left) and the other with an 'R' (right).
  2. Verify the UPC code '9 420015 7 4004' is printed on the adaptors. These were used to connect phil&teds stroller models (Classic, Dot, Explorer, Hammerhead, Navigator, S3, and S4) to car seats from Maxi Cosi (Cabriofix, Mico, Pebble) and Cybex (Anton).
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled TS26 adaptors to attach a car seat to your stroller.
  4. Contact phil&teds toll-free at 855-652-9019 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or visit www.philandteds.com and click on 'Support' then 'Upgrades and Recalls' to request your free replacement adaptors.
