More than 114K Britax car seats recalled over handle defect
The car seats' carrying handle may cause the child to fall.
More than 114,000 child car seats sold by Britax are being recalled, according to a notice from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
The impacted car seats have a screw in the seat's carrying handle that may come loose, "causing the handle to partially detach," according to the NHTSA.
"A child may fall after a partial detachment, increasing the risk of injury," the NHTSA states.
The recall, first posted online on Aug. 20, includes certain B-Safe Gen 2, B-Safe Gen 2 Flexfit, B-Safe Gen 2 Flexfit Plus, B-Safe 35, B-Safe Ultra, and Endeavours child seats.
A remedy for the defect is currently under development and impacted car seat owners will be mailed recall notices October 19, according to the NHTSA.
The agency said owners of the recalled car seats may also contact Britax customer service at 888-427-4829.
ABC News has reached out to Britax for comment.
