The Voyager TM Car Seat/Stroller is a combination product with an infant car seat that snaps into a frame for use as a stroller. When used as the stroller, the car seat could become dislodged and fall to the ground. Infants could be injured from the fall. Cosco has not received any reports of car seats becoming dislodged from the stroller. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury. Cosco will send consumers instructions on how to modify the car seat to eliminate the problem. Voyager TM Car Seat/Strollers subject to this recall have manufacturing dates from September 8, 1997, through October 27, 1997. The manufacturing date is found on the car seat, not on the stroller frame. The car seat comes with a fabric canopy and seat pad. "COSCO" is imprinted into the front of the car seat. The Cosco Voyager TM Car Seat/Stroller was sold nationwide from September 1997 through November 1997, primarily through Wal-Mart, Target, Ames, Service Merchandise, Caldor and Montgomery Ward retail stores, for about $79. Consumers should call Cosco at (800) 221-6736 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST Monday through Friday for the repair instructions. Until the repair is completed, consumers should not use the car seat as a stroller. The problem does not affect the product's use as a car seat or carrier.
