Child car seats voluntarily recalled due to possible risk of injury
More than 179,000 child car seats are being voluntarily recalled due to possible risk of injury. Manufacturer Dorel Juvenile Group stated in a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall report Tuesday that 179,845 Safety 1st Grow and Go Sprint child seats are impacted by the recall. Dorel said the foam in the headrests of the child seats was " not adequately secured," leading to the possibility that foam pieces could be picked off and cause a choking hazard. "While the foam is non-toxic, loose pieces of foam can present a choking hazard to a child, increasing the risk of injury," Safety 1st stated in an Instagram post about the recall on Thursday. "At Safety 1st, we take pride in acting quickly and proactively to ensure the safety of our products and to keep families informed. To date, we are not aware of any cases where there have been any claims of injury or medical treatment required." According to the April 22 NHTSA report, Dorel did receive reports of 13 cases of a child who placed a piece of the CC321 headrest foam into their mouth. However, the company stated there had been "no claims of injury or medical treatment required." The Safety 1st Grow and Go Sprint child seats included in the recall were produced between Feb. 28, 2023, and Dec. 31, 2023, according to the report. Recalled model numbers include CC321GYU, CC321GYUD, CC321GYY, CC321GYYD, CC321HAO and CC321HAR. Dorel is advising any customers with recalled child seats not to return them to stores. The company said it would be mailing letters about the recall to registered owners of recalled child seats between June 9 and June 13, 2025, and would provide free replacement headrest pad assembly kits, which include a new headrest pad that covers the headrest foam.

83,000 Safety 1st car seats recalled over choking hazard—what parents need to know
Safety 1st car seat recall: 180,000 units pose choking risk to young kids A large number of Safety 1st Grow and Go Sprint All-in-One car seats are being voluntarily recalled due to a defect that may pose a choking hazard to young children. The recall was officially issued by Dorel Juvenile Group on April 18, 2025, and posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under campaign number 25C-006. According to the NHTSA, 13 car seats may allow children to access the foam inside the headrest. Although the foam is non-toxic, small pieces could break off—potentially becoming a choking risk if a child puts them in their mouth. So far, no injuries or medical treatments have been reported, but Dorel is urging families to take proactive steps.

There's no need to stop using the seat in the meantime, as long as the foam isn't accessible to your child. As parents, we do everything we can to protect our kids—on the road and beyond. Taking a moment to check your model number is one of those small-but-mighty steps that helps keep your child safe, secure, and riding with confidence. Related: The best cars for car seats
