DJ USA is recalling 2019-2021 Maxi-Cosi Pria 70 designed for use with children to 70 pounds, as well as the Pria85 and Pria 85 Max car seats, designed for use for children weighing up to 85 pounds. When the seat is installed in the forward-facing position and secured to the vehicle using the lap belt without also using the top tether, the seat may not adequately protect the child from a head injury in the event of a crash. There have been no injuries or incidents reported related to this condition. Using this car seat in both the rear-facing mode and forward-facing modes for children up to 65 pounds or 49 inches can continue to be used according to all labeled installation methods.

DJ USA and NHTSA continue to work toward a remedy to consumers.

DJ USA's purpose is to create a confident parenting journey that nurtures children into a meaningful future – striving for excellence and caring for precious life.
