Dorel Juvenile Group Statement on NHTSA Recall of Center Front Adjuster

Dorel Juvenile Group has been the definitive leader in children’s products for more than 25 years. As the world’s largest car seat manufacturer we are continually investing in and advancing our processes for one reason, the safety of children. This is of paramount importance to us. Our processes go well beyond industry regulations to ensure our products are of the highest quality, and include increased force and load testing on products, durability and reliability testing. Additionally, we conduct both frontal and side impact crash tests on our seats.

Dorel Juvenile Group constantly gathers and reviews information, comments, and concerns from our consumers. We greatly value this feedback and believe direct dialogue is the most productive and effective means to resolve concerns.

This voluntary recall is being conducted out of an abundance of caution with no reported incidents or injuries. Parents and caregivers are being provided detailed information on how to make the simple recommended adjustments to their car seat.

Any recall is unfortunate, particularly those affecting children’s products. Dorel Juvenile Group will continue to work every day to earn the trust of parents and caregivers and provide products that are of the highest quality, design and value. That is what we pledge to parents, because we are parents too.
