Plain-English summary

Graco Children's Products, Inc. is recalling certain Extend2Fit Convertible child seats manufactured between November 27, 2015, and January 20, 2016. The recall involves approximately 15,064 units. The defect is that the recline label may be affixed at the wrong location, resulting in confusion about how to use the seat properly. As a result, these child seats fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

If the instructions are followed as shown on the incorrect label, a rear-facing infant could be placed in an upright position, or a forward-facing toddler could be placed in a recline position. Either scenario may increase the risk of injury to the child in the event of a crash.

Graco will notify owners and provide a new corrected label with application instructions free of charge. The recall began on March 22, 2016. Owners may contact Graco customer service at 1-800-345-4109. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
