The Consumer Product Safety Commission, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Evenflo Company Inc. announced a recall of Evenflo Embrace Infant car seat/carriers because of a malfunctioning handle Thursday.
Evenflo said that when used in the carrier mode the handle can unexpectedly release, causing the seat to rotate forward, causing the infant to fall.
The units, manufactured in the U.S. and China, were sold nationwide through department and baby items stores from from December 2004 through September 2006, according to a release from NHTSA.
The announcement comes after Evenflo received 679 reports of handles unexpectedly releasing. The recall affects about 450,000 Evenflo Embrace Infant car seat/carriers made before April 8, 2006.
Evenflo reported 160 injuries to children including a skull fracture, two concussions, cuts, scrapes and bruises.
