NHTSA and Transport Canada today announced a voluntary recall of certain Foonf and Fllo convertible car seats manufactured before May 21, 2021.
It has been determined that it is possible for a child to access the EPP foam cushion with their fingers through the crotch buckle opening in the fabric and pick at the foam. After repeated picking, the foam could be a choking hazard if they put it in their mouth.
In order to avoid this risk, Clek has designed a plastic insert to cover the foam around the crotch buckle opening. The company will provide affected car seat owners with a kit to fix the issue. All Clek Foonf and Fllo car seats made on or after May 21, 2021, have this plastic insert.
