Britax recalls over 114,000 car seats over handle detachment risk
Britax recalled more than 114,000 car seats after complaints that a screw can come loose and cause the handle to become partially detached, which could let a child fall. The recall followed an Aug. 1 consumer complaint of a detached handle hub mount that led to a minor injury; a retrospective review found 217 reports of handle detachment and 312 reports of loose or wobbling handles, plus three other minor injuries since 2016. Affected models include B-SAFE 35, B-SAFE ULTRA, ENDEAVOURS, B-SAFE GEN 2, B-SAFE GEN 2 FLEXFIT and B-SAFE GEN 2 FLEXFIT PLUS. A repair kit was being developed, reimbursement was offered for paid fixes with a Sept. 24 deadline, and notification letters were scheduled for Oct. 19.
