NHTSA complaint: GRACO OTHER — CHILD SEAT:MATERIAL/PADDING
WE BOUGHT THE INFANT SAFE SEAT IN JANUARY OF 2008. MODEL NUMBER 8A16CTM, SERIAL NUMBER JJ200711101047. OUR BABY WAS BORN IN FEBRUARY OF 2008. A FEW WEEKS AGO I NOTICED FOAM IN HER MOUTH AND IN HER CAR SEAT. I INSPECTED THE CAR SEAT AND FIGURED OUT SHE WAS PULLING THE FOAM OUT FROM THE PADDING IN HER CAR SEAT AND EATING IT. THIS IS A TERRIBLE CHOKING HAZARD FOR SUCH A YOUNG BABY, NOT TO MENTION THE INTERNAL DAMAGE THIS FOAM COULD HAVE ON HER STOMACH. I TORE THE FOAM THAT SHE COULD REACH OUT OF THE CAR SEAT FOR A TEMPORARY FIX. I CONTACTED GRACO REGARDING THIS MATTER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD SEND ME A REPLACEMENT PAD FOR THE RIPPED FOAM. OBVIOUSLY THIS WOULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, CONSIDERING SHE WOULD JUST RIP IT OUT AGAIN. *TR
