Evenflo "Embrace" Infant Car Seats Defective: CPSC Announces Recall

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a recall of 450,000 infant car seats by manufacturer, Evenflo.  The carrying handle on many units can release unexpectedly, causing falls and other injuries.  One hundred sixty child injuries have been attributed to the handles; among them, two concussions and a fractured skull. 

The recall notice advises that the child seat is safe to use for travel when properly belted into an automobile, but consumers should not rely on the carrying handle until a repair kit has been fitted to the product.

For additional information regarding this product safety recall, call Evenflo at (800) 490-7497, or visit the company's recall website.
