Plain-English summary

Cosco Inc. is recalling approximately 6,000 Voyager Car Seat/Strollers in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The product is a combination infant car seat that snaps into a stroller frame. The recall is for an in-home repair to address a safety issue where the car seat could become dislodged from the stroller frame and fall to the ground, potentially injuring an infant.

The affected units have manufacturing dates between September 8, 1997, and October 27, 1997. The manufacturing date is located on the car seat, not the stroller frame. The car seat features a fabric canopy and seat pad, with "COSCO" imprinted on the front. These products were sold nationwide from September 1997 through November 1997 for about $79, primarily through retailers including Wal-Mart, Target, Ames, Service Merchandise, Caldor, and Montgomery Ward.

Cosco has not received any reports of car seats becoming dislodged from the stroller. The recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. Consumers should call Cosco at (800) 221-6736 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday, to receive instructions for modifying the car seat. Until the repair is completed, consumers should not use the car seat as a stroller. The issue does not affect the product's use as a car seat or carrier.
