The problem, in NHTSA's words
JD E-Commerce America Limited (Joybuy Express) is recalling all Marainbow Portable Infant Safe Seat and materially similar child seats. Please refer to Joybuy Express' affected products attachment for specific child seat model details. The installation labels display incorrect instructions. The child seat's design also prohibits it from being installed properly. As such, these child seats fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213, "Child Restraint Systems."
What could happen
The child seat may be improperly installed, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix
Joybuy Express will provide a refund to purchasers. Owner notification letters were mailed February 21, 2023. Owners may contact Joybuy Express' customer service at 1-302-426-4543 or overseas-service@jd.com. This recall expands and replaces NHTSA recall number 22C-007.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
