Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. To Conduct a Safety
Recall for Designer 22 Rear-Facing Infant Child Safety Seats

The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) announced that the Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc. (DJG) will
conduct a safety recall campaign involving about 190,000 Eddie Bauer, Safety
1st, and Cosco brand rear-facing infant child safety
seats.

Dorel has received complaints that
the harness on the recalled child safety seats can loosen after the child has
been buckled in, and in the event of a crash the child may not be properly
restrained, increasing the risk of
injury.

The models involved in the recall
are:

* Eddie Bauer: 22-625 AFD GB1B,
22-625 GLC GB1B, 22-625 EDG GB1B, and 22-625 MAC
GB1B
* Safety 1st: 22-325 CMB GB1B, 22-325 VIN
GB1B, 22-325 DTA GB1B, and 22-325 TST GB1B
*
Cosco 22-300 JOS GB1B

Only those seats
manufactured between August 19, 2003, and October 20, 2004, are
affected.

Dorel will mail a free repair
kit consisting of two harness clips along with installation instructions to
owners who return their registration cards. Owners who have not registered their
product should contact Dorel’s toll-free number (800-881-0570) Monday through
Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT or contact the company by fax
(800-207-8182). They may also e-mail Dorel at

NHTSA encourages parents to obtain and
install the repair kit as soon as possible, so that the child seat provides
maximum protection for the child. In the meantime, parents are advised to make
sure that the seat is properly adjusted while in use. Parents should continue to
use the existing seat while waiting to receive and install the repair kit
because the seat still provides better protection than an adult seat belt or no
restraint.

Consumers with questions about
this or any other safety recall campaign should call NHTSA’s toll-free Auto
Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236, or check NHTSA’s website,
