On certain booster car seats, the French-language label affixed to the side of the seat contains incorrect occupant height and weight range information when the restraint is used in backless mode. The label indicates a weight range of 10 to 18 kg (22 to 40 lbs) and a height range of 71 to 127 cm (28-50 in). rnThe correct weight and height ranges for backless mode should read from 18 to 49.8kg (40 to 110 lbs) and 102 to 145 cm (40-57 in), respectively. Incorrect use of the restraint could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a vehicle crash. Correction: All registered owners with affected car seats will be sent a label pouch containing a replacement label and instructions on how it is to be affixed to the product. Non-registered owners, or owners who have moved, are asked to contact Evenflo Company, Inc. by phone at 1-937-773-3971, or through the company website (www.evenflo.com), to register for a free label pouch.
