Where can I learn about car seat recalls?

In our last post about car seats and car seat safety, we wanted to discuss the very important topic of car seat recalls. Parents often do a lot of research when it comes to picking a car seat. They learn about the different types of seats and the state’s laws related to those seats. They buy the seat ahead of time and make sure to install it properly. They may even get it checked by a technician to make sure that everything is perfectly installed and ready to go.

Parents can understand how frustrating it can be to go through all these steps just to learn that the car seat you purchased has been recalled. Or even worse, it can be devastating if a recall has not yet been made and your child is one of the first children to be injured by the defective product.

Thankfully manufacturers are required to let car seat owners know about these types of recalls. That is why it is extremely important for parents to register their car seats when they buy them. On top of that, you can also sign up with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to receive email alerts about any recalls that happen.

Parents can also go to the NHTSA’s website in order to check for different recalls, register their car seat, or to file a complaint about a specific car seat.

If your child has been injured by a defective car seat, you may want to reach out to an attorney in order to protect your rights and the rights of your child.
