Evenflo Recalls Over 59,000 Car Seats - Headrest Could Come Loose in a Crash

Evenflo has issued a recall for more than 59,000 child car seats after discovering the headrest can detach during a collision. The affected models include certain Evenflo Gold SensorSafe and SureRide 65 seats, and the problem lies in the locking mechanism that holds the headrest in place.

No injuries have been reported so far, but the company says the defect raises the risk of head or neck injuries in a crash.

Parents should stop using the recalled seats immediately and check their model number against the list on Evenflo’s website. The company is offering a free repair kit that addresses the locking issue. Owners can also call Evenflo’s customer service line to request the kit. Until the repair is installed, the seat should not be used in a vehicle.
