If your baby uses the OXO Nest Booster Seat, keep reading. The brand has recalled 25,000 of them — sold in green, pink, taupe, and orange with a white base — after the Consumer Product Safety Commission received five reports that the stitching on the restraint straps "can loosen, which allows the straps to separate from the seat, posing a fall hazard to children." This can happen if the child pulls on the straps or if an adult tightens them.
Unsure if your booster seat has been pulled from the shelves? Read the full recall description.
This recall involves the Nest Booster Seat sold in green (model 6367200), pink (model 6367300), taupe (model 6367500) and orange (model 6367400) with a white base. A sticker affixed to the underside of the seat reads "Nest Booster Seat" with the model number and manufacture date. The manufacture date code represents the month and year in MMYY format and recalled units have the code: 0714, 0814, 0914, 1014, 1114 or 1214. The formed plastic seats are about 13 inches wide by 14 inches tall by 12 inches deep and have a grey three-point child restraint strap system. The OXO logo is embossed on the restraint system's buckle.
According to the firm, consumers should immediately stop using the booster seats and contact OXO at (800) 545-4411from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday for a free repair kit with redesigned safety straps and installation instructions.
Thankfully, no injuries have been reported.
