ValcoBaby is recalling about 975 "Joey" booster toddler seats designed for use with Valco "Tri-Mode" and "Zee" strollers. The seat's attachment mechanism can suddenly come loose, which has already caused two reported incidents of children falling from the stroller. These affected seats have black fabric on a white metal frame and were sold nationwide between June 2011 and June 2012 for about $80 to $100. Consumers should stop using these seats immediately and contact the company for a free replacement part.
The spring button mechanism that secures the booster seat to the stroller frame can fail and disengage. This allows the seat to detach while in use, posing a serious fall hazard to the child sitting in the booster seat.
Consumers should stop using these toddler booster seats immediately and contact ValcoBaby to arrange for a free replacement attachment mechanism.
