Full text from Baby Jogger:
The safety of our products and the consumers that use them is paramount to Baby Jogger. During a thorough product review of the recently acquired Baby Jogger business, it was discovered that the 2014-2015 models of the Baby Jogger City GO rear-facing infant car seats and bases do not fully comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Due to an inadvertent error, the on-product labels and owner’s manuals located on approximately 1500 Baby Jogger City GO infant car seats manufactured between November 3, 2014 and April 30, 2015 and sold to consumers at specialty and online retailers in the United States, deviate from the federal standard in terms of the size/font/color specifications and required instructions for printed information and fall short of the high standards we expect. It is important to note that the 2016 models of the Baby jogger City GO rear-facing infant car seats currently available in stores are compliant with the federal standard set forth by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and are NOT included in this recall.
To verify if a 2014-2015 Baby Jogger City GO infant car seat is included in this recall, consumers should visit http://www.babyjogger.com/support-center/#recall or contact the consumer services team at 1-800-241-1848 (Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm ET). We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our consumers and appreciate their understanding.
