Recall Details

Units: 31,080

Description:

Columbus Trading-Partners USA, Inc. (CTP) is recalling certain Cybex models Aton, Aton Q, Aton M, Aton 2, and Cloud Q rear facing infant seats. Please refer to CTP’s recall report for specific model details. The design of the webbing for the central seat belt adjuster allows it to fray, which can reduce the strength of the seat belt. As such, these infant seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 213, “Child Restraint Systems” and 209, “Seatbelt Assemblies.”
