Dorel Recalls Maxi-Cosi Coral XP Infant Seats Due to Restraint Defect

Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling Maxi-Cosi Coral XP rear-facing infant seats because the inner carrier does not sufficiently restrain a child without the outer carrier.

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 structural defect in a child restraint system that fails to meet federal safety standards, creating a risk of injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Coral XP Rear-facing Infant Seats with model number IC313. The recall affects 14,510 units. The defect involves the child seat inner carrier, which is not sufficient to restrain a child without the use of the outer carrier. Consequently, these child seats fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

In the event of a crash, an insufficiently restrained child has an increased risk of injury. Owners are advised to only use the inner carrier of the Coral XP when it is attached to the outer carrier and installed with or without the base using the vehicle belt restraint system, consistent with the existing instruction booklet and labels.

Dorel will offer a refund or replace the child seat, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 6, 2023. Owners may contact Dorel's customer service at 1-877-657-9546 or [email protected]. 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.nhtsa.gov.
