Detailed Background of the Evenflo Class Action Settlement
Evenflo, a major retailer of children’s safety equipment such as car seats, booster seats, and strollers, came under fire when consumers raised concerns about the safety claims of their “Big Kid” booster seats. According to the lawsuit, Evenflo advertised these booster seats as extensively “side impact tested” and safe for children weighing as little as 30 pounds.
However, the plaintiffs argued that these seats had not undergone rigorous safety testing and potentially put young children at risk. Parents claimed they relied on these safety assurances when purchasing these seats, expecting thorough testing and certification.
The controversy intensified after a prominent investigative report revealed inconsistencies between Evenflo’s safety claims and its internal testing practices. These findings led to heightened consumer concern and the eventual filing of the Evenflo class action settlement.
Evenflo has denied wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid lengthy litigation. In addition to monetary compensation, the company has pledged to make important adjustments to its advertising practices, transparency, and consumer education materials moving forward.

- Anyone who purchased an Evenflo “Big Kid” booster seat between Jan. 1, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2022.
