Britax carseat voluntary recall

MrsJetSet — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 06:26:34 GMT

Britax Child Safety, Inc. announced today that it is conducting a voluntary safety recall on select Britax Boulevard 70G3, Pavilion 70G3, and Advocate 70G3 convertible car seats in the USA and Boulevard 65G3, Pavilion 65G3, and Advocate 65G3 convertible infant/child car seats in Canada manufactured between June 1, 2012 and August 31, 2012 with the following model numbers:

USA: E9LJ91A, E9LJ91M, E9LJ91S, E9LJ92E, E9LJ93P, E9LJ93S, E9LK91A, E9LK31A, E9LK31Q, E9LK32D, E9LK32Z, E9LK33Q, E9LL11A, E9LL11Q, E9LL12D, E9LL12Z, E9LG81A, E9LG83N, E9LG83P, E9LG83X, E9LG83Y, E9LL21A, E9LL23P, E9LL23Y

Canada: E9LK11A, E9LK11M, E9LK11S, E9LK13P, E9LK13S, E9LK41A, E9LK41Q, E9LK42D, E9LK42Z, E9LK43Q E9LG91A, E9LG93N, E9LG93P, E9LG93X, E9LG93Y

On the Britax Boulevard 70G3, Pavilion 70G3, Advocate 70G3, Boulevard 65G3, Pavilion 65G3, and Advocate 65G3 Convertible Infant/Child Car Seats, HUGS Harness UltraGuard System Chest Pads are affixed to the seat shell to ensure proper positioning and provide resistance to the forward movement of your child in a crash, reducing the risk of head injury.

The affected Boulevard 70G3, Pavilion 70G3, Advocate 70G3, Boulevard 65G3, Pavilion 65G3, and Advocate 65G3 Convertible Infant/Child Car Seats were manufactured with this enhanced harness system that incorporated a softer more pliable, nontoxic HUGS pad intended to provide increased performance and comfort. Britax has received reports that some children chew or bite on the pads and have bitten off small pieces of the pads which could present a choking hazard, especially in infants.

To address this issue, Britax is providing a remedy kit that contains two replacement HUGS Pads that are made from a firmer material that will not break apart when children chew or bite the HUGS Pads and an instruction sheet for replacing the pads. Confirm whether your Boulevard 70G3, Pavilion 70G3, Advocate 70G3, Boulevard 65G3, Pavilion 65G3, or Advocate 65G3 Convertible Infant/Child Car Seat is affected by verifying the model number and date of manufacture.

If consumers have not yet received their remedy kit and have concerns that their child may bite the HUGS pads, the HUGS pads can be removed and the car seat can be safely used until replacement pads are received. As always, please ensure that proper harness tensioning is achieved. For any questions, contact our Customer Service Department at 18884274829.

Once consumers have received the remedy kit, Britax strongly recommends that you replace the HUGS Pads to ensure maximum performance of the seat.

Consumers who have not registered their product or need to verify existing registration should contact the Britax information line, toll free at 18884274829 between 8:30 am 4:45 pm EST Monday Thursday, between 8:30 am 3:45 pm EST on Friday or visit www.britaxusa.com/registration USA or www.britax.ca/registration Canada.

I've heard there is going to be a possible recall on the peapod sleepers because of a suffocation hazard. The recommendation as of now is not to use for children under a year old but they are investigating further.

An update on board changes

Knot Michelle — Tue, 15 May 2012 17:43:49 GMT

Hi Everyone–

A lot of you have questions regarding the recent changes to The Nest boards and The Bump local boards. As you know, we recently converted The Nest boards and The Bump local boards to a new format as well as migrated the boards to a new platform that is hosted by a third-party vendor. I’d like to let you know what you can expect moving forward and why it’s important that we do continue converting all of our boards to this new format once we’ve implemented your feedback and fixed the current technical issues affecting all of the boards on the new platform.

The Knot, The Nest and The Bump communities have grown considerably during the past few years. The platform that The Nest boards and Bump local boards sat on was a legacy technology that could no longer sustain our growth in traffic. As our membership continues to grow, our technology needs to evolve so that it can support the size of our community. Our old platform would not have been able to support our large membership for much longer.

We also want to provide all of our members with new features that the old format unfortunately does not offer. Our moderators had limited capabilities on the old platform. Our goal is to give them more powers so that they can delete spam and ban users when necessary. We also want to give all of our members the ability to hide their posts at once for privacy reasons. These are benefits that the new platform and format provide.

I’ve received several complaints regarding the design and functionality of the new format. There have also been several technical issues, including missing threads and slow load times, which we thought had been resolved by our third-party vendor before we made the changes. For the past few months we’ve been working closely with our vendor to recover missing threads on The Knot and local boards. Before the conversion, our vendor ran several tests and told us that they had found a permanent solution and that members on all converted boards would no longer experience missing posts. Their solution didn’t hold up and now we’re working with them to quickly find another solution so that this issue is eliminated.

We’re listening to your feedback and will not move forward converting any additional boards until we know that these tech issues have been properly resolved and that we’ve addressed your concerns. Please let me know what issues you’re experiencing on The Nest boards and Bump local boards immediately so that we can find a solution as quickly as possible. You can e-mail me directly at messageboards@theknot.com. These types of transitions are always tricky and active participation from our community will help us resolve issues quicker and will help us provide the best user experience. We will make sure that we share important updates with The Bump moderators and all of you as we make improvements and launch new features that you’ve requested.
