Major recall for MiaModa. Effects I think all their infant seats. The splitter plate is cutting the harness, and the bases are cracking in a crash. It was a forced by NHTSA recall, and they are refunding parents for seats.

Thank you so much for the recall notice, my seat is one affected and the metal is very sharp and i can see how that would slice the seat belt.
