Graco Children’s Products is recalling almost 3.8 million car seats because faulty buckles can make it hard to free the child in an emergency, the company said on Tuesday. But federal safety regulators said the recall, the largest in five years, did not go far enough, and have asked for an additional 1.8 million seats to be included because they use the same buckles. In an unusual move, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration told Graco in a letter that unless those additional seats were fixed it would take legal action to force a recall. The seats in the recall are the 2009 to 2013 model years of the Cozy Cline, Comfort Sport, Classic Ride 50, My Ride 65, My Ride with Safety Surround, My Ride 70, Size 4 Me 70, Smartseat, Nautilus, Nautilus Elite and Argos 70. The investigation into the seats began in 2012 after some parents complained to regulators that they had to cut the straps to remove their children. One parent complained to the safety agency that it took 45 minutes to free her toddler and that worked only after the straps were loosened and the girl was squeezed between them. 

“It is extremely unnerving to have this happen to your child,” she wrote. “What if we had a car fire or a car accident?” Graco told regulators that the problems with the buckles stemmed from contamination with “foreign material such as food or dried liquids.” But investigators dismissed that explanation, saying that buckles getting dirty with food and drink was “completely foreseeable,” and not an excuse.getting used to aeron chair In a statement Tuesday, Graco maintained that the problem with the buckles “does not in any way affect the performance of the car seat or the effectiveness of the buckle to restrain the child. chair and table rentals bramptonAnd a car seat is always the safest way to transport your child.”cynthia rowley chair gray

While Graco said it was not aware of any injuries resulting from the problem with the buckles, a letter from N.H.T.S.A. to Graco on Jan. 14 noted that it was a defendant in a wrongful death suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court over “the death of a 2-year-old child, Leiana Ramirez, who was killed in a car fire following a motor vehicle accident.” cheap table and chairs worthingThe girl, the agency said, “was seated in a Graco Nautilus car seat, of the subject seats.”chair rental in stillwater mn A Graco spokeswoman, Ashley Mowrey, wrote in an email, “The case was resolved pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement.” eames plastic chair dsw vitraThe recalled buckles were made by AmSafe Commercial Products of Elkhart, Ind. AmSafe did not respond to a request for comment.

The 1.8 million additional seats the safety agency wants recalled are rear-facing models used for infants. They are the Snugride, Snugride 30, Snugride 32, Infant Safe Seat-Step 1, Snugride 35, Tuetonia 35 and Snugride Click Connect 40. Graco has insisted that those seats do not need to be recalled because if a buckle jammed, the seat containing the infant could be detached from the base, which is anchored to the vehicle, Ms. Mowrey said in a phone interview. She said parents who had trouble with buckles could get free replacements by calling Graco. Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety, a consumer advocacy group in Washington, said it was rare for a disagreement between a manufacturer and the safety agency to erupt in public and involve the threat of legal action. “It shows a serious dispute,” he said. The safety agency’s most recent letter to Graco took an unusually harsh tone. For example, the agency said that Graco’s response to the agency on Feb. 7 about its plan for the recall was “incomplete and misleading to both the agency and consumers.”

The agency also scolded Graco over its characterization that it was recalling the seats “in an abundance of caution” after not reaching an accord with regulators over the danger that the seats posed. “Please be clear,” the agency wrote, “there is no ‘accord’ to be reached between Graco and N.H.T.S.A. on anything related to this recall.” The safety agency went on to say that by agreeing to a recall, Graco was admitting that the seats were defective and posed an “unreasonable risk to safety.” Graco, a leading manufacturer of products for young children, is a division of Atlanta-based Newell Rubbermaid and sells at retailers including Walmart, Toys “R” Us and Target. Graco also makes baby monitors, strollers, swings and high chairs, among other items. The child-seat recall may expand well beyond Graco. Last month, the safety agency began investigating similar complaints about child seats made by the Evenflo Company of Piqua, Ohio. The safety agency says it believes some Evenflo models use similar buckles, also made by AmSafe.
