What is this about?  A Settlement has been reached with Britax Child Safety, Inc.

Britax further asserts that the Class Child Seats comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The Court has not decided who is right.

Who is affected?  All persons who, when they were residents of California, purchased for personal or household use a new Britax Frontier ClickTight Harness-2-Booster or Britax Pioneer Harness-2-Booster Seat at any time from August 14, 2016, up to and including August 14, 2020, and the seat has a manufacturing date from August 14, 2016, to no later than September 30, 2019.
