Canadian Tire announces recall of more than 87,000 booster seats

TORONTO – A lot more than 87,000 child booster child car seats sold at Canadian Tire stores are now being recalled simply because they neglect to meet safety regulations.

The retailer says four types of booster seats made by Transtek Trading Co. Ltd. and sold under the brand names Kukuxumusu and Apramo are being recalled.

The Kukuxumusu units possess a manufacture date between February 2013 and September 2015, while the Apramo seats possess a manufacture date between September 2013 and September 2015.

All units were sold at Canadian Tire stores across Canada.

The company says there have been no reports of any injuries linked to the seats.

However, it says the recall has been issued out of “an abundance of caution.”

Allan MacDonald, chief operating officer at Canadian Tires retail, says the organization regularly tests all its products to ensure they meet or exceed quality and safety standards.

“Due to the regular testing program that people conduct along with Transport Canada, we recently determined that booster seats that once met safety requirements no more meet regulations,” he said.

Customers who’ve purchased the recalled products can send them back to the Canadian Tire store for a refund.

A posting around the Transport Canada website says 87,230 units may take a hit.
