What the notice says today
The consequence
Without the instruction manual the seat may be used improperly. Should the owner not file a registration with the child seat manufacturer due to lack of information on how to do so, they may not be notified of a safety recall. Either condition puts the child at an increased risk of possible injury in the event of a crash.
The remedy
The affected seats have a label stating: "DISPLAY ONLY NOT INTENDED FOR SALE," located on the back of the booster seat headrest. Evenflo will mail owners who have received an affected Big Kid booster seat a remedy kit that includes a consumer registration card, an instruction manual, and an overlabel to cover the current label stating: "DISPLAY ONLY NOT INTENDED FOR SALE." The remedy kit will be provided free of charge. Notification began on October 10, 2012. Owners may contact Evenflo at 1-800-233-5921 or at safety.evenflo.com..
