Britax has just recalled 14, 220 Chaperone car seats models E9L692J, E9L692K, E9L692L and E9L692M manufactured from September 1, 2010, through April 30, 2011.

Though no injuries or deaths have been reported, Britax has discovered that many of these contain a defect in the rivet that attaches the harness adjuster to the car seat.

Translation?  Defective rivet=harness can detach=child is neither properly restrained in seat nor protected in case of collision

Britax promises to provide a repair kit to affected consumers by February 6th.  If you have an affected car seat, beg, borrow or steal an alternate child safety seat until you received your fixer-upper.

Consumers who have a detached harness adjuster or that would like further information about this recall should contact Britax Child Safety, Inc., at (888) 427-4829 or at www.britaxusa.com.
