If you are a person in the United States, the District of Columbia or any U.S. Territories (including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and you purchased an Evenflo “Big Kid” booster seat in the United States between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2022, you may be eligible to receive benefits from a class action settlement.

A $3.5 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Evenflo Co., Inc. (“Evenflo” or “Defendant”). Plaintiffs assert that Evenflo misled consumers into purchasing its “Big Kid” booster seats by labeling and advertising “Big Kid” booster seats as “side impact tested” and safe for children weighing 30 pounds or more. Evenflo denies that the labeling and advertising for its “Big Kid” booster seats was misleading and denies any wrongdoing or liability. Instead of continuing to litigate the claim in court, the parties have agreed to a class action settlement to avoid the risk, cost, and time of continuing the lawsuit.

You are a Settlement Class Member entitled to receive benefits under the Settlement if the following Settlement Class definition applies to you: all Persons in the United States, including the District of Columbia and any U.S. Territories (including without limitation Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) who purchased an Evenflo “Big Kid” booster seat in the United States during the Class Period. The “Class Period” includes purchases between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2022.

If you are a Settlement Class Member, you may file a Claim Form to receive the following Settlement benefits for each seat you claim. The maximum number of seats you can claim on your Claim Form is two (2) seats.

  • Cash Payment – A pro rata share (a legal term meaning an equal share) payment of the Net Settlement Fund for each Evenflo “Big Kid” booster seat claimed; and
  • Evenflo Credit – A $25 credit toward the purchase of Evenflo products directly from Evenflo at www.evenflo.com, subject to certain terms and conditions for each Evenflo “Big Kid” booster seat claimed.

In addition, Evenflo will: 1) provide informational noticing regarding the Minimum Weight for the Safe Use of the Big Kid Belt-Positioning Booster Seat and the Side-Impact Testing performed on the Big Kid Belt-Positioning Booster Seat; 2) conform its marketing of belt-positioning booster seats regarding child weight recommendations to comply with federal regulations established by NHTSA, among other changes; and 3) post an educational video about transitioning a child from a front-facing harnessed car seat with a tether to a booster seat.

Your legal rights will be affected whether you act or do not act. You should read the entire Notice carefully. The Notice can be found here.
