Car Seats
2003 SnugRide® Recall
Potential Problem:
Graco has determined that a small number of SnugRide infant car seats may have missing hardware used to
attach the carrier to the base. If the hardware is missing, the carrier may not be securely attached to
the base. In the event of a sudden stop or accident, the carrier may detach from the base, possibly
resulting in serious injury or death.
