Chronology of events

1. Jan 7, 2025

   On January 7, 2025, Evenflo became aware of the possibility that car seats (or travel systems including car seats) configured for the Canadian market may have been shipped to retail customers with addresses in the United States. Such car seats or other products had designated model numbers specific for seats intended for Canadian sale. An investigation was initiated.

2. Jan 14, 2025

   January 14, 2025, with specific examples of car seats intended for Canada delivered to US customers confirmed, Evenflo initiated a dynamic testing program to evaluate relevant Canadian model car seats for compliance with US standards (FMVSS 213). Concurrently, efforts to identify all instances of such deliveries continued.

3. Feb 28, 2025

   February 28, 2025, Evenflo completed its dynamic testing and concluded that Canadian car seats shipped to US customers all complied with applicable requirements for product performance. However, Evenflo also identified that the recall registration cards included with Canadian model car seat products did not fully comply with the requirements of FMVSS 213. Activities concerned with confirming the population of relevant product shipments continued.

4. Mar 3, 2025

   March 3, 2025, Evenflo management made the determination that products in the recall population presented a non-compliance related to the recall registration card and that a recall should be initiated to remedy that non- compliance.
