Thule is recalling about 1,430 Sleek Car Seat Adapters because the plastic brackets can crack or break during use, potentially causing an infant in a car seat to fall. These adapters, used to attach Chicco car seats to Thule Sleek strollers, were sold nationwide at stores like REI and Buy Buy Baby, as well as online at Thule.com and Amazon.com from December 2018 through February 2020. Thule has received three reports of these brackets breaking, though no injuries have been reported. Affected consumers can choose between a full refund or a free replacement Thule Sleek Bassinet.
The black plastic brackets on the metal adapter frame can crack or break while the stroller is in motion, which can cause the attached car seat to become unstable or detach, posing a serious fall hazard to the infant.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Sleek Car Seat Adapter and contact Thule Group to arrange for the return of the product for a full refund or to receive a free replacement product of a Thule Sleek Bassinet which works on the Thule Sleek Stroller.
