Summary
Diono
is recalling certain Radian R100, Radian R120, Radian RXT, Olympia,
Pacifica, and Rainier convertible and booster car seats. When the seat
is installed in the forward facing position and secured to the car using
the lap belt without also using the top tether, the seat may not
adequately protect the child from injury in the event of a crash. As
such, these child seats fail to conform to the requirements of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 213, "Child Restraint
Systems." Only seats manufactured between November 25, 2013, and
September 5, 2017, are affected by this recall campaign.
