The hazard
Peg Perego infant car seats, trek system SNG product from May 20, 2001, to and including February 15, 2002. The seats have a snap in the upholstery directly over the locking belt adjustment mechanism (a-loc adjuster). When the upholstery is attached by the snap to the cover of the a-loc adjuster, it may cause tension in the upholstery due to the weight of the child, which may prevent the complete engagement of the a-loc adjuster allowing some slippage in the harness restraints. These seats fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 213 "child restraint systems." in the event of a vehicle crash; the child may not be properly restrained. Correction: Peg Perego will notify its customers and send repair instructions free of charge. Within 4-6 weeks, owners will receive a new plastic cover. Owner notification is expected to begin during March 2002. Owners who do not receive repair instructions or replacement part should contact Peg Perego's toll-free number at 1-877-737-3468.
