Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is alerting consumers to a Feb. 1 recall of one million Evenflo Discovery infant car seats. Recent test results show the car seat could separate from its base in high-impact side collisions making them unreliable in protecting children riding in cars. The affected models are: Discovery Infant Car Seat 390, 391, 534 and 552, all of which were manufactured between April 2005 and Jan. 29, 2008. Evenflo, the car seat’s manufacturer, will provide affected car seat owners with a supplemental dual-hook fastener to ensure that the seat remains attached to the base. Consumers can order the fastener by calling 1-800-356-2229 between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. CST or by visiting www.evenflo.com/discovery. In 2005, the Illinois General Assembly amended the Illinois Children’s Product Safety Act to require manufacturers and retail merchants to post recall notices both in their stores and on their Web sites. The new law also further strengthened the recall notification process by requiring manufacturers and retail merchants to alert – by e-mail or mail – Illinois consumers who purchased recalled children’s products online. Illinois was the first state to enact such comprehensive child safety notification measures. In 2007, Madigan launched a recall hotline at 1-888-414-7678 to help callers identify recalled products in their homes and to explain how consumers can contact companies to repair or return affected products. Today, Madigan urged consumers to call the hotline if they need help determining whether they own one of the affected car seats.
It seems like there is a new product recall every few days. I am especially concerned about all the recalls on car seats, children's toys and household products. I now have a personal file that alerts me to product recalls. I also receive timely notices when one of my products has is an update. You can acesss the recalls and update notices at the product blog page.
