More than 30 car seat models were affected; image here represents just one.

What model car seat does your baby ride in? If it's a Graco SnugRide infant seat (not sold with a stroller as part of a Travel System) and you registered it upon purchase, watch your mail for information on how to receive a replacement kit. (Own one but haven't registered? Click here to do so now and then receive your kit instructions.)

Recall Reason

According to the company recall, Graco has determined that the backing of the seat pad on certain stand-alone SnugRide Infant car seats manufactured in the United States may be prone to deterioration or tearing, especially after washing. If this occurs, a child occupying the car seat may be able to remove the padding material from the back of the seat pad and place it in his or her mouth, posing a potential choking hazard. (No injuries have been reported.)

Please note: This issue does NOT affect the ability of the child restraint system to protect the occupant in a motor vehicle crash.
