Overview
- Testing showed the adjustable recline can shift out of position when rear‑facing, which may compromise crash protection and create a pinching risk for nearby passengers.
- The recall covers specific All4One 4‑in‑1 convertible models manufactured from Jan. 1, 2022, through Oct. 31, 2023, per filings with federal regulators.
- Regulators say the issue constitutes noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213 governing child restraint systems.
- Evenflo will provide a free, reasonably equivalent replacement seat, with owner notification letters planned to mail starting Jan. 26; the recalled seats are no longer in production and replacements use a different design.
- Owners may continue using the seats, including rear‑facing, but should keep hands away from the recline mechanism and may use a folded towel as a temporary mitigation; no injuries have been reported, and customers can verify model details on the seat label or contact Evenflo at 1‑800‑233‑5921.
