Reported risk: HUGS TM (Harness Ultra-Guard System) chest pads are affixed to the seat shell to ensure proper positioning and provide resistance to the forward movement of your child in a crash, reducing the risk of head injury. The affected car seats were manufactured with this enhanced harness system that incorporated a softer more pliable, non-toxic HUGS TM pad intended to provide increased performance and comfort. Britax has received reports that some children bite or chew on the pads and have bitten off small pieces of the pads, which could present a choking hazard, especially in infants. Britax has received a total of three reports in the U.S. that children have bitten off and gagged on small pieces of the pads. No similar reports have been received to date from Canadian consumers by Britax or Transport Canada. No reports of injury or harm have been received. Health Canada has not received any reports of incidents or injuries associated with the use of these affected car seats.
