Product name | Britax Roundabout Convertible Child Restraint |
Description | Britax Model# 161 Roundabout Convertible Child Restraints. |
Problem | The shells during this time frame have been improperly molded and could allow higher head excursions than allowed by FMVSS No.213. An insufficient parting line bond in the area of the harness adjuster attachment may lead to adjuster movement under crash loads that could allow a child's head to move further than the permitted limits. In a crash, additional head movement could allow a child's head to strike something in the vehicle and lead to injury. |
