Graco Car Seat Recall!!!

If you own a Graco car seat, you might want to read this.  Graco is recalling THOUSANDS of car seats because the harness buckles are getting stuck!  Below is the recall information found at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/childseat.cfm (I am listing this here because it was hard for me to get on the website because so many people are trying right now).  For more information you HAVE to contact Graco directly at 1-800-345-4109 (toll-free) or 1-330-869-7225.

Defect: Graco Children's Products, Inc.

The alleged defect involves difficulty in unlatching the harness buckle. In some cases, the buckle becomes stuck in a latched condition so that it cannot be opened by depressing the buckle's release button.
Consequence: It may be difficult to remove the child from the restraint, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a vehicle crash, fire, or other emergency, in which a prompt exit from the vehicle is required.
Corrective Action: The manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a remedy or notification schedule. Owners may contact Graco at 1-800-345-4109 (toll-free) or 1-330-869-7225.
