The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has recalled
tether kits for Snug Seat, Inc., child safety seats.

The recall involves 1,146 tether anchor kits for the Gorilla child safety
seat, model number 200-1000, and Spelcast child safety seat, model number
600-1000, manufactured between July 26, 2002, and Jan. 15, 2003. This kit
enables the purchaser to mount a tether anchor in a vehicle that is not
already equipped with an anchor.

Restraint Systems." The child safety seats are sold only through Durable
Medical Equipment Dealers for use by children with special needs. The part
