Britax Car Seat Safety Recall
If you own a Britax Marathon Car Seat manufactured between May 23rd 2006 and July 28th 2006 with the model numbers E9L06, EYW06 or E906, these products are currently being recalled. The top tether hook can come undone in a crash if your child weighs more than 50 pounds, a potential cause of injury. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported yet because of this malfunction.
Customers who own a Britax car seat that carry the model numbers under recall should NOT use the product. All consumers who purchased a Britax car seat will receive a replacement top tether hook, whereby the seat can then be used safely for children up to 65 pounds.
If your child weighs less than 50 pounds the car seats are still safe for use and do not need to be fixed.
If you are concerned about the quality of your car seat, please visit Britax’s recall page and follow the instructions listed there.
