Question Safety of True Fit with broken styrofoam

Hi there! I purchased a Safety 1st True Fit for my DD in 2011. I took the fabric cover off to wash it today, and realized the Styrofoam that covers the plastic shell on the left side is broken from the rest (and came right off). I tried to post a photo but can't figure out how (??). I am wondering whether this seat is still safe to use, or whether I need to purchase her a new one. Thank you so much for any help.

Most companies say to tape/glue the foam, and then they'll send out a new piece. If the foam is not removable, they've often sent out new seats. So I wouldn't panic too much right now. It's Friday night, so I'd send them an email with pictures tonight, then see what they say on Monday. I'd tape the foam in place until then, and limit rides just to be conservative. Just until you hear from them.
