1 Million Evenflo Infant Car Seats Recalled

A million Evenflo Discovery infant car seats were the subject of a voluntary recall by the company this week after testing showed the seats could break loose from their base in a collision. Testing conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration discovered the problem, which affects models numbered 390, 391, 534 and 552 that were manufactured between April 2005 and January 29, 2008.

The company will provide owners with a free dual-hook fastener that will fix the problem and keep the seat attached to its base. The company said there have been no reports of serious injuries or deaths due to the faulty seats. Owners should call Evenflo at 800-356-2229.
