Infant Seats for Shopping Carts Recalled, Chalky Residue Could Cause Skin Irritation
These seats can have a white chalky powder or residue on their surface. It is the UV Absorber that has separated from the seat due to a molding defect that affected some seats produced in one or more molding runs. This could cause skin irritation to children who come into contact with the residue.
