Plain-English summary

The First Years, Inc. is announcing a safety repair program for approximately 41,000 units of the 3-In-1 Booster Seat, Model 4200. The recall addresses belt sets that may have improperly threaded buckles or only one belt instead of two, preventing the booster seat from being tightly secured to a full-size chair.

These defects create a risk that the booster seat could tip and fall forward from the chair, potentially injuring a child. Four minor injuries have been reported due to these belt-related problems. The affected seats are teal with white arms and trays, measure approximately 14 inches high by 12 inches deep, and were sold nationwide from March through May 1995 in retail stores including Toys R Us and Target Department Stores.

Consumers should call The First Years at (800) 533-6708 for information on repairing the booster seat belts. Booster seats currently in stores with the new model number 4200C have properly threaded buckles and are not affected.
