Infant Seats for Shopping Carts Recalled, Chalky Residue Could Cause Skin Irritation

Reported: March 1, 2006 Initiated: March 1, 2006 #06532

Product Description

Gray or red infant seats that are permanently attached to shopping carts in retail stores. "SAFE-SEAT +" is molded into the side of these seats. A metal tube around the frame of the seat attaches it to the shopping cart.

Reason for Recall

These seats can have a white chalky powder or residue on their surface. It is the UV Absorber that has separated from the seat due to a molding defect that affected some seats produced in one or more molding runs. This could cause skin irritation to children who come into contact with the residue.

Remedy

If your seats have a chalky white residue, remove them from consumer use immediately and call SSC Inc. to arrange for free replacement seats.
