Additional information:
Among the 28 recalls the NHTSA has announced this January comes news of the following:
Thorley Industries doing business as 4moms (“4moms”) has recalled certain 4moms branded Self Installing Rear-facing Infant Car Seats, model number 1032, manufactured from July 1, 2016 to October 31, 2016. Due to a tight rivet, the affected Infant Car Seats have a coupling hook that may not properly engage around the coupling pin, preventing the infant carrier portion from securely attaching to the seat base.
According to the NHTSA, if the infant carrier does not properly attach to the base, the carrier can detach in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
