23000 infant car seats manufactured by Britax have been recalled because of harness clips that are faulty. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission the chest harness clip may break loose and can cause a choking hazard or cuts. Britax Child Safety Inc. received one report of a child putting a broken clip in his mouth and three reports of scratches or cuts. The Chinese-made infant car seats were sold across the country and on the Britax website from June 2009 to October 2010. Those with Britax car seats can call Britax at 1-888-427-4829 for a free repair kit.

Its unfortunate when product recalls are done on products that are manufactured to be used by children or for children. However it sounds as if Britax is being proactive and not waiting until further injury or harm occurs to other children. In some instances when a product causes injury or death a product liability civil suit may have merit in being brought against the manufacturer of the product depending on the specific circumstances of the product causing harm. If you believe that a certain product has caused you or a loved one harm consider contacting your family attorney to see what legal options may be available to you.
