The affected stroller models include the Classic, Dot, Explorer, Hammerhead, Navigator, S3, and S4. The adaptors are compatible with Maxi Cosi Cabriofix, Maxi Cosi Mico, Maxi Cosi Pebble, and Cybex Anton car seats. The products consist of two pieces of black plastic, one for the left side and one for the right side, that connect the stroller to the car seat. The adaptors are marked with "TS26," "philandteds," "L" for left, "R" for right, and UPC "9 420015 7 4004."
