CHILD SEAT

Issued by Harmony Juvenile Products · Reported Apr 17, 2018 · 148,165 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Harmony Juvenile Products (Harmony) is recalling certain Harmony Big Boost Deluxe booster seats. In the event of a crash, the seat belt may cause excessive force to be applied to the restrained child's chest. As such, these booster seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."

Consequence

Excessive chest force can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy

Harmony will notify owners, and provide a replacement booster seat of a different model, free of charge to eligible U.S. consumers who currently own a Big Boost unit and are the original purchaser, original owner, and/or original user of the Big Boost unit. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed August 21, 2018. The recall began July 3, 2020. Owners may contact Harmony customer service at 1-877-306-1001.
