Product recall: Holmbergs Buckles on InfaSecure child restraints

We have been advised that under limited conditions some of the Holmbergs buckles that Infa-Secure use in their child restraints may not perform to the extremely high safety standards they set for themselves.

Their testing indicates that particular batches of Holmbergs buckles may see the restraining screws separate from the casing causing the buckle to fail.

While they have received no notifications of any injuries due to this issue, after concerns were raised by customers they decided to immediately initiate a voluntary recall of affected buckles to ensure the safety of their customers and their families.

If you purchased an InfaSecure child restraint between August 2019 and February 2020, it's recommended you stop using the product immediately, and contact the manufacturer - see details below.
