EVENFLO RECALLS DISCOVERY INFANT CHILD RESTRAINTS.

Attention Evenflo Model 3021769Z and 3021854Z Car Seat Owners
If you purchased an Evenflo Model "302Z" Discovery Infant Car Seat during March 11-21, 2008 at a local Wal-Mart or Target Store, please contact Evenflo immediately. Due to recent manufacturing variability, a small number of Evenflo Discovery Model 3021769Z and 3021854Z car seats may have shipped without complete assembly of the red release handle located on the back of the seat. Under certain conditions, this may cause the seat to separate from its base, possibly resulting in serious injury.
The affected Discovery seats were built on February 4, 2008 with model numbers 3021769Z and 3021854Z.
