Urgent child safety seat recall

DVS received this chilling notification about the child safety seat to which he had entrusted the lives of his young children:
As a valued Toys"R"Us customer, we wanted to make you aware that our records indicate you have purchased a product from Toys"R"Us which has now been recalled by the manufacturer. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a voluntary recall of select Graco/Century items.

Consumers should cease use of these Graco/Century, ComfortSport™ Car Seats immediately. Please click here for additional product recall information.

Sincerely,

Toysrus.com

Wow. A well-known children's safety product company like Graco manufacturing death traps for toddlers. Who can you trust these days?

When you click through to the additional information, you see how deadly the product is:
A number of Frazier™ComfortSport™Convertible car seats, manufactured from November 1, 2006 through October 8, 2007, were produced with an optional “ body pillow” that partially obscures the required airbag warning label. Partial obscuring of the airbag warning label may prevent the important message from being read, and thus lead to improper installation of the car seat. Failure to properly install the car seat can result in serious injury or death.
