Evenflo recall sparks class action involving 324,000 car seats that pose choking danger

Evenflo car seat class action overview:

• Who: Plaintiff Debbie Barraza filed a class action lawsuit against Evenflo Co. Inc.
• Why: Barraza claims Evenflo failed to disclose that its Gold Revolve360 Slim and Revolve360 Slim car seats pose a heightened risk of choking hazard.
• Where: The Evenflo class action lawsuit was filed in Massachusetts federal court.

A new class action lawsuit accuses Evenflo Co. of failing to disclose that its Gold Revolve360 Slim and Revolve360 Slim car seats pose a heightened risk of choking hazard.

Plaintiff Debbie Barraza’s class action lawsuit claims the foam on the headrest of the Evenflo car seats, which are marketed as being safe for children, can be easily removed by infants and young children, exposing the foam and creating a choking hazard.

Barraza argues Evenflo’s recall of the affected car seats is inadequate since the company only offered consumers a free remedy kit with an additional tape seal to protect against access to the headrest foam.

“Plaintiff and all reasonable consumers would not have purchased the Car Seats or paid less for them had they known that Evenflo’s safety representations were false and misleading,” the Evenflo class action lawsuit says.

Evenflo car seats were recalled in September

Evenflo voluntarily recalled the affected Gold Revolve360 Slim and Revolve360 Slim car seats in September, according to the class action lawsuit, which says the defect affects more than 324,000 car seats manufactured between December 2022 and December 2024.

Barraza argues Evenflo’s recall is inadequate since it only offers a tape seal to cover the exposed headrest foam, which she claims does not provide real relief or restore the benefit of the bargain.

“Plaintiff paid a price premium for the Product based on Defendant’s misrepresentations and material omissions,” the Evenflo class action lawsuit says.

Barraza claims Evenflo is guilty of breach of implied warranty of merchantability, unjust enrichment and fraudulent concealment and of violating California’s Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law.

She demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of compensatory, statutory and monetary damages for herself and all class members.

Earlier, Evenflo agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle claims that its “Big Kid” booster seats were not as safe or rigorously tested as advertised.
