Hazard

These seats can have a white chalky powder or residue on their surface. It is the UV Absorber that has separated from the seat due to a molding defect that affected some seats produced in one or more molding runs. This could cause skin irritation to children who come into contact with the residue.

Remedy

If your seats have a chalky white residue, remove them from consumer use immediately and call SSC Inc. to arrange for free replacement seats.

Incidents & injuries

None reported.
