Parents whose children use a certain brand of inflatable booster car
seats should immediately stop using them, as they pose a risk of
injury, Health Canada warns.
On June 28, Health Canada issued a recall for the UberBoost Inflatable
Booster Car Seat, sold in various colours, due to the increased risk
of injury in the event of a crash.
"These products do not display Transport Canada's National Safety Mark
and therefore have not been certified to meet the safety requirements
of the 'Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats Safety
Regulations,'" Health Canada said in the recall.

The inflatable booster seats are sold under the following Amazon
Standard Identification Numbers (ASIN): B07R6NVP770, B07RR7ZYGY and
B07RB2KRCS.
Consumers who have these affected products should immediately stop
using them and safely dispose of the items in such a way that they
cannot be used again, Health Canada warned.
