December 20, 1999 -- In Washington, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration working in conjunction with Kolcraft Enterprises is recalling 750,000 infant car seats.
When used as an infant carrier, the handle of the seats made by Kolcraft can unexpectedly change position, causing the seat to rotate and the baby to fall to the ground.
Currently, there have been more than 3,000 reports of handle-related problems with the product. At least one infant has suffered a skull fracture, and two have suffered concussions. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that 42 infants have been injured as a result of this defect.
The Chicago company is offering a free repair kit to address the faulty handle. The recall involves Kolcraft infant car seats/carriers with the model names Infant Rider, Secura, Travel-About Plus 4, Plus 5, Kolcraft Infant Restraint, Kolcraft Infant Car Seat and Playskool Infant Car Seat manufactured from January 1, 1993, through June 30, 1999.
