It has told parents to stop using the car seats immediately and return them for a full refund after identifying “a potential safety concern”.
It said the seats may fail to protect children properly in a collision. The recall came after parents reported issues with the “unsafe seats” on the parenting blog Playpennies. Argos posted a statement on its website saying: “We have identified a potential safety concern. “In the event of an accident the car seat shell may crack and therefore not provide the intended level of protection to the user. “If you have purchased any of the above seats, you should immediately stop using the product and return the car seat to your local Argos store for a full refund. “We wish to thank you for your co-operation and apologise for any inconvenience caused by this recall.” The car seats were made by Mamas & Papas exclusively for Argos and are not on sale anywhere else. The models affected are: Mamas & Papas Mercury Group 1 Black Mamas & Papas Mercury Group 1 Grey Mamas & Papas Mercury Group 1-2-3 Black Mamas & Papas Mercury Group 1, 2, 3 Grey
Mamas & Papas Mercury Group 2-3 Black and Grey One parent wrote a message on Playpennies saying: “'I am absolutely seething at Mamas and Papas right now. “These are being recalled due to a massive complaint from me, I leant on my son’s seat and it cracked. “Argos replaced it like for like, now they have recalled the whole lot.” Mamas & Papas said in a statement: "Mamas & Papas has been in discussion with Argos about their decision to suspend sales and recall certain Mercury car seats, which are manufactured by Mamas & Papas exclusively for Argos. We continue to work closely with Argos to determine the exact nature of the issue. "We wish to reassure our customers that we take product quality and assurance very seriously and that the safety of our customers is always our primary concern.
