Graco Snugride Recall
Can you handle another recall? I am not surprised when any new baby gear is recalled now, there has been so many just this year alone!
Whether you are ready for another one or not, here it comes. Graco just announced a recall of their infant car seats today. The recall is of the standalone SnugRide seats manufactured between Aug. 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 and could have been sold as late as just last week.
The recall is because the backing of the seat pad may pull away from the seams, exposing the pad filling that could pose a potential choking hazard. This recall does not affect SnugRide models sold as part of a travel system or those made before August 2006, because the design is different.
If you are unsure if your snugride is part of the recall check the model number and manufactured date on the back of the car seat.
The model numbers that are affected are: 8609FOF2, 8609FOF3, 8616FOF2, 8616FOF3, 8643DDH2, 8643DDH3, 8643CDR2, 8643DH03, 8643SUP2, 8643SUP3, 8643JOS2, 8643JOS3, 8643MDW3, 8643PWC3, 8643SFJ3, 8645FMT2, 8645FMT3, 8645GLM3, 8645GLN3, 8645HEM2, 8645HEM3, 8645MYC2, 8646SML3, 8645MYC3, 8645MRG3, 8645PKR2, 8645SNY2, 8646SND2, 8645THR2, 8645THR3, 8646FIE2, 8646FIE3, 8646GRT3 and 8646RRY3.
The company said customers should not return the seat to the retailer. Consumers can get a replacement seat pad by calling 800-345-4109 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST, or go to www.gracobaby.com.

It seems like there is a new product recall everyday. I am especially concerned about all the recalls on children’s toys and household products. I set up a personal file that alerts me to all product recalls and it sends me a timely notice when one of my products has been recalled.
