The hazard
These seats can have a white chalky powder or residue on their surface. It is the UV Absorber that has separated from the seat due to a molding defect that affected some seats produced in one or more molding runs. This could cause skin irritation to children who come into contact with the residue.
Incidents reported: None reported.
What to do now
If your seats have a chalky white residue, remove them from consumer use immediately and call SSC Inc. to arrange for free replacement seats.
Contact: For more information, call SSC Inc., toll free at (800) 448-8945 between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or contact us online at www.seatreplacement.com
