Chronology :

On 2/24/2023, Dorel received test results from a 3rd party test lab for a Safety 1st onBoard 35 SecureTech (model IC351) sample exhibiting a failure of 49 CFR 571.213 S5.1.1(a) for a complete separation of a load bearing structural element. An early hypothesis is formulated about the proper function of the self-retracting lower anchor mechanism in the base of the IC351. The same type of mechanism is identified as also being used in the base of a several other product models in Dorel’s current portfolio. Out of an abundance of caution, all suspect models were quarantined and placed on hold from sale in Dorel’s warehouses.

Between 2/27/2023 and 3/1/2023, the sample tested by the 3rd party test lab and multiple additional suspect samples selected across a wide range of available manufacture lots are shipped to and reviewed at Dorelโ€™s Indiana factory using a functional check and tear down inspection procedure. 5 of 33 suspect sample models inspected are identified as exhibiting the same concerning lower anchor self-retracting mechanism issue as the IC351 sample returned from the test lab. Dorel has received no reports of injuries related to this noncompliance.

3/10/2023 – 7 units added to the number of affected units involved after review of on hold records.
