According to the USCPSC Bugaboo Americas is recalling roughly 64000 car seat adapters after a fall risk was determined. When the seat is positioned on a stroller such that the child faces forward the seat can disconnect from the adapter and create a fall hazard increasing the risk of injury. Bugaboo is aware of one injury from the defect. The company can be contacted at (800) 460-2922.
Commentary
When a manufacturer discovers a flaw in one of their products they will often issue a recall to mitigate liability. However recalls are a slow process that can still leave defective products on the market even following their conclusion.
If an injury were to occur from a defect product an investigation is needed to concretely link the injuries with the product in question. This is a very difficult task as many of us perform tasks daily that could produce similar injuries. This is typically one of the first routes defense attorneys use in claiming their clients product did not cause the relevant injuries.
