Product Notice
Evenflo 'Big Kid' booster seats bear incorrect weight use information
February 3, 2006

Transport Canada is warning consumers that certain Evenflo “Big Kid” booster seats sold at Wal-Mart stores across the country carry tags with incorrect weight use information.

The products do not include product tag information stating that the minimum weight for use of seats must be 18 kg (40 lb). These units mistakenly include a tag attached to the cloth pad that indicates a minimum weight for use of 13.7 kg (30 lb).

Should an underweight child be placed in the booster cushion and the vehicle is involved in a crash, the child may have a greater risk of injury.

The affected models and model numbers are:

  • Big Kid Quantum Booster: 3372482CA
  • Big Kid Everest Booster: 3381601CA

Owners of affected booster cushions should remove and discard the point-of-purchase tag, and they should NOT use this or any booster cushion until their child is at least 18 kg (40 pounds).

For additional information about correct product usage, please check the product labels and instructions or call Evenflo at (937) 773-3971.
