The problem, in CPSC's words
The harness chest clip can break and pose a laceration hazard. Due to its small size it also poses a choking hazard.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
The firm has received four reports of the chest clip breaking. Injuries from three reports included minor lacerations and scratches to arms and a finger; and one report involved an infant placing the clip in his mouth.
What CPSC says to do

Consumers should immediately contact Britax for a free repair kit, which includes a replacement chest clip. Registered owners have been directly contacted by Britax.
