22 Car-Seat Models Face Recall
A child safety seat manufacturer that produces gear for several brand names will recall about 190,000 rear-facing seats, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday.

The recall of products made by Dorel Juvenile Group includes Eddie Bauer, Safety 1st and Cosco brand seats.

Dorel has received complaints that the harnesses on seats can loosen after a child has been buckled in, the agency said in a news release.

The models involved in the recall are:

#
# Eddie Bauer -- 22-625 AFD GB1B, 22-625 GLC GB1B, 22-625 EDG GB1B, and 22-625 MAC GB1B
# Safety 1st -- 22-325 CMB GB1B, 22-325 VIN GB1B, 22-325 DTA GB1B, and 22-325 TST GB1B
Cosco -- 22-300 JOS GB1B

Only those seats manufactured between Aug. 19, 2003, and Oct. 20, 2004, are affected.

Dorel will mail a free repair kit with two harness clips and instructions to owners who return their registration cards.

Other owners can call Dorel's at (800) 881-0570 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT or e-mail designerrecall@djgusa.com.

NHTSA said that parents should get the repair kit as soon as possible, but can continue to use the seats in the meantime. They are advised to check the harness after putting the child in the seat.
