Car seat defects that can cause serious injuries
In recent years, multiple child car seat brands have issued recalls due to dangerous designs and manufacturing defects. These issues — harness failures, latch issues, structural defects and inferior materials — can put infants and toddlers at serious risk of injury.
Harness failures: In December 2024, Rava recalled specific car seat models after discovering a harness defect. Over time, the harness may loosen, thus increasing the risk of injury in a crash or when suddenly breaking.
Latch issues: In March 2025, Columbus Trading-Partners recalled several child car seat models because the harnesses may fail to latch properly or come undone at critical moments, putting the child in danger.
Structural defects: UPPABaby announced a recall in August 2025 affecting multiple infant car seat models. A flawed design positioned babies awkwardly, pressing their chins against their chests and increasing the risk of serious injury.
Material flaws: RECARO recalled over 170,000 child safety seats after discovering that the protective shell casing was too brittle and could crack or break.
These are just a few examples of brands that have been recalled for potentially life-threatening defects. If your child was in one of these or similar car seats during an accident, don’t miss this opportunity to explore your legal options.
How defective car seats can cause serious harm
Unfortunately, faulty car seats can fail at critical moments, putting infants and toddlers at serious risk during a car crash. A harness that loosens, a latch that fails or a brittle casing can leave a child poorly restrained in a collision. Without proper restraint, your child is more likely to suffer head trauma, broken bones, or internal injuries.
These injuries can result in developmental delays and permanent disabilities, often requiring ongoing medical care and therapy. In the most severe cases, defective child safety seats can even lead to the death of a young child.
