Nuna car seat class action lawsuit alleges dangerous harness defect

Nuna car seat class action overview:

• Who: Two New York moms, plaintiffs Eliana Ricardo Moncada and Mariya Dukler, filed a class action lawsuit against Nuna Baby Essentials Inc.
• Why: Moncada and Dukler claim Nuna sold convertible car seats with defective harness adjusters that can cause the harness to loosen.
• Where: The Nuna car seat class action lawsuit was filed in New York federal court.

A new class action lawsuit claims Nuna sold convertible car seats for children with defective harness adjusters that can cause the harness to loosen.

Plaintiffs Eliana Ricardo Moncada and Mariya Dukler filed the Nuna car seat class action lawsuit against Nuna Baby Essentials Inc. on March 28 in a New York federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws.

According to the lawsuit, Nuna sold defective convertible car seats that do not deliver on their promise of safety and high quality.

The two claim in their lawsuit that all Nuna Rava convertible car seats manufactured between July 16, 2016, and Oct. 25, 2023, contain defective front harness adjusters that may allow the harness to loosen.

Nuna car seat recall affected more than 600,000 car seats, class action says

The plaintiffs say Nuna’s voluntary recall of the Rava convertible car seats affected more than 600,000 car seats. The recall notice allegedly instructed parents and caregivers to check the harness before each use and to stop using the car seat if the harness was not functioning properly.

The lawsuit alleges Nuna’s recall process is inadequate and may not reach the majority of consumers who purchased the car seats.

The plaintiffs also claim Nuna’s remedy kit requires consumers to perform a complicated and time-consuming repair process themselves, which may not fully address the defect.

As a result, the plaintiffs claim they and other consumers have been forced to continue using car seats that are unsafe and defective, or to purchase a backup car seat until the defect is repaired.

The plaintiffs seek to represent anyone who purchased a Rava convertible car seat in New York between July 16, 2016, and Oct. 25, 2023. They are suing for breach of warranty and violations of New York General Business Law and are seeking certification of the Nuna car seat class action lawsuit, damages, fees, costs and a jury trial.

In March, a group of parents filed a class action lawsuit against Nuna Baby Essentials Inc. alleging it sold defective car seats that are unsafe for children. According to the lawsuit, the Nuna Rava product line of convertible car seats is defective and unsafe for children.
