Maxi-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)
