Nuna Baby Essentials RAVA car seats recalled due to harness defect, USA

United States

Nuna Baby Essentials has issued a recall for over 600,000 RAVA child car seats due to safety concerns. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that debris could interfere with the harness's ability to stay snug, posing a potential risk to child safety. The defect was discovered as a result of debris entering the area where the front harness adjuster button is located. This debris can cause the teeth of the adjuster mechanism to no longer properly clamp onto the adjuster strap, resulting in the harness no longer remaining tight. This loose harness may not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. This product was distributed nationwide in the United States.

The recall specifically targets:
- RAVA car seats
- Manufactured between July 16, 2016 and October 25, 2023.
- The affected models include Caviar, Indigo, Berry, Blackberry, Slate, Charcoal, Frost, Granite, Lake, Oxford, Rose, Droplet Dot Collection, Broken Arrow Caviar, Brushstroke, Refined, Riveted, Lagoon, Edgehill, Ocean, Curated, and Threaded.
- The model number can be found on the label on the underside of the seat. You can check it in the picture.

Owners of Nuna RAVAs manufactured between July 16, 2016, and October 25, 2023, will be eligible to receive a new seat pad, cleaning kit, and care instructions to ensure the car seat's harness adjuster is kept clean and working properly.

If your car seat’s harness is functioning properly and securing the occupant consistent with the existing instruction manual and labels, you may continue to use your car seat as directed.

If you or a loved one are harmed or experiencing any symptoms, it is important to report it. Reporting can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and enable better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
