CBC Car seat research
Hi there. I'm a producer with the CBC's network consumer unit. We are currently researching the topic of car seat safety. I'm interesed in speaking with Canadians with knowledge or opinions about this topic. We are also particularly interested in speaking with Canadians who were affected by last year's voluntary recall by Combi USA. In March of 2008 Comi recalled the Centre, Centre ARB, and Shuttle Rear Facing Infant Restraints. More details below. I can be reached at timothy.sawa@cbc.ca. Or by phone (collect, if you want) at 204-788-3739.
Thanks,

Combi USA, Inc. Announces a Voluntary Safety Recall of the Centre, Centre ARB and Shuttle Rear Facing Infant Restraints
Combi USA, Inc. Announces a Voluntary Safety Recall of the Centre, Centre ARB and Shuttle Rear Facing Infant Restraints
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fort Mill, SC March 3, 2008 - Combi USA, Inc. (Combi) is announcing a voluntary safety recall of the Centre, Centre ARB, and Shuttle Rear Facing Infant Restraints. The Centre and Shuttle were manufactured from October 19, 2005 to December 15, 2007. No other models are affected by this recall. Combi USA, Inc., the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada conducted numerous in-vehicle laboratory tests to analyze the overall effectiveness of the Centre and Shuttle in motor vehicle frontal crashes. In some cases these tests exceeded the requirements of the current US standard. The test data revealed that the seat of the restraint could potentially separate from its base, when tested under these conditions.
All Centre and Shuttle restraints have consistently met existing government safety standards. While Combi has not received any owner reports of these seats separating from the base in real-world crashes, Combi is initiating this voluntary safety recall to address the potential for seat separation as demonstrated in testing of the seat in motor vehicles. Combi will conduct a voluntary recall campaign with the intent of providing car seats with enhanced protection under these in-vehicle test conditions.
Number of Units Affected: approximately 67,000
Date Produced: October 19, 2005 to December 15, 2007
Model Numbers Affected are: 8065, 8074, 8086, 8087, 8520 and associated Travel Systems containing the Centre and Shuttle (Model #4400, 4515, 4520)
