Baby Product Recall: Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix Base

Family Fix Base Recall from Maxi CosiMaxi-Cosi is vol­un­tar­ily recall­ing all Maxi-Cosi Fam­i­ly­Fix bases sold before March 04, 2010, to be checked.

The recall con­cerns a poten­tial prob­lem in the mechan­i­cal attach­ment of the IsoFix con­nec­tors to the base. As a result, the base does not offer the child the desired level of pro­tec­tion in case of an acci­dent. The prob­lem, iden­ti­fied dur­ing a rou­tine inter­nal qual­ity check, affects a small per­cent­age of the total pro­duc­tion. There have been no com­plaints or report of incidents.

The Fam­i­ly­Fix base is used for two suc­ces­sive car seats;

  • Maxi-Cosi Peb­ble (baby/0-13kg)
  • Maxi-Cosi Pearl (toddler/9-18kg)
