Kraco Seat Cover Recall Due to Incorrect Air Bag Compatibility Labeling

Kraco is recalling Who-Rae Butterfly Rose seat cover kits sold at AutoZone because packaging incorrectly claims compatibility with seat-mounted side air bags.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the seat covers may prevent side air bags from deploying properly, increasing the risk of injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Kraco Enterprises, LLC is recalling certain Who-Rae Butterfly Rose 3-piece seat cover kits manufactured between October 1, 2015, and October 31, 2015. These products were sold through AutoZone stores. The recall involves 4,760 units.

The packaging for the affected seat covers incorrectly states that they are acceptable for use in vehicles equipped with seat-mounted side air bags. However, the seat covers in the package do not have the special side seams required to allow for the correct deployment of these air bags. If a driver is in a crash, the seat covers may prevent the side air bags from deploying properly, increasing the risk of injury.

Kraco does not have a list of purchasers and will not be mailing letters. Signage will be posted at AutoZone stores. Owners may return the seat covers to the store for a full refund or a free set of seat covers suitable for use with seat-mounted side airbags. The recall began on April 1, 2016. Owners may also contact Kraco customer service at 1-800-678-1910 for a free refund or a free set of suitable seat covers.
