Graco is recalling a limited number of its SnugRide Turn & Slide infant car seats after discovering a structural defect in the seat’s base during post‑production testing, the company said
The voluntary recall affects select models sold between January and March at major retailers including Amazon, Target and Walmart. Graco said parents should immediately stop using the seat with the base but may continue using the seat on its own while waiting for a free replacement base.
“We know parents rely on Graco products every day, and we understand this may create frustration and disruption for families. We are working quickly to support affected families and will provide a replacement product at no cost,” Graco said.
The company did not say what the specific structural issue is, but did say the defect was found during a “post-production laboratory test.”
Here is what you need to know about the recall.
According to Graco, the following SnugRide Turn & Slide products are being recalled.
Graco says customers should stop using the car seat with the base immediately if it is part of the recall. Parents can continue using the seat without the base while waiting for a replacement.
To receive a free replacement base, Graco asks customers to photograph the label on the base showing the model number, date of manufacture and serial number, and submit it to the company.
