California Orbit Baby Car Seat Class Action Settlement

A nearly $1 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging Orbit Baby Inc. and The ERGO Baby Carrier Inc. made deceptive representations that their infant and car seat products are free of certain types of chemicals.

If you purchased a new Orbit Baby infant or toddler seat between April 26, 2012 and Feb. 23, 2018 while you lived in California, you may be entitled to a cash refund from the car seat class action settlement.

Plaintiff Jordana Lee Kopin accuses the defendants of making deceptive and misleading representations about Orbit Baby car seat products, including certain stroller systems, car seats, bassinets, travel systems and certain individual components or accessories for the products.

According to the Orbit Baby car seat class action lawsuit, which Kopin filed in April 2016, the defendants made misleading representations that their products were free of certain unsafe chemicals such as brominated and chlorinated flame retardants.

The Orbit Baby class action lawsuit asserted claims for violations of California law, including California’s Song-Beverly Warranty Act and Consumer Legal Remedies Act.

Orbit Baby and ERGO deny any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $995,000 to settle the car seat class action lawsuit to avoid the time, burden and expense of ongoing litigation.

The Orbit Baby class action settlement was preliminarily approved on Feb. 23, 2018.

Class Members who would like to opt out of or object to the Orbit Baby car seat settlement must do so no later than May 7, 2018.
