Dorel Recalls Babidéal Storm Booster Car Seats for Missing Safety Labels

Dorel is recalling 28,800 Babidéal Storm Booster Car Seats sold at Family Dollar because the fabric cover may lack required safety warnings, increasing crash injury risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 (child restraint) where the defect (missing labels) increases the risk of injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Dorel China America, Inc. is recalling 28,800 Babidéal Storm Booster Car Seats, model BC901BPXL, that were sold exclusively at Family Dollar Stores. The recall addresses a defect where the label attached to the fabric cover may not contain the required safety warnings and instructions. Consequently, these child seats fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

The missing safety information creates a risk because caregivers may not understand the risks associated with the product or how to use it properly. This lack of information increases the risk of injury to the child in the event of a crash.

The recall began on December 9, 2019. Dorel will notify registered owners and provide a replacement fabric cover with a compliant warning label free of charge. Owners can contact DCA customer service at 1-877-657-9546 or text 1-812-373-6673. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
