Settlement Administrator Angeion Group announces Proposed Settlement in Chicco "KidFit" Booster Seat Class Action

If You Purchased a Chicco "KidFit" Booster Seat Between April 22, 2015 and December 31, 2021, You May Be Eligible for a Payment of Up to $50 from a Class Action Settlement.

A court has authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

A Settlement has been reached with Artsana USA, Inc. ("Artsana") in a class action lawsuit about Artsana's Chicco-branded "KidFit" booster seats. The lawsuit alleges that Artsana misrepresented the minimum weight requirement for and side-impact collision protection provided by its Chicco "KidFit" booster seats. Artsana denies these allegations. The Court did not rule in favor of Plaintiffs or Defendant. Instead, the parties agreed to a settlement to avoid the expense and risks of continuing the lawsuit. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Artsana.

Am I a Class Member? You are a Class Member if you purchased a Chicco "KidFit" branded booster seat, which includes the KidFit, KidFit Zip, KidFit Zip Air, KidFit Luxe, KidFit Plus, and KidFit Air Plus models, between April 22, 2015 and December 31, 2021 (the "Eligible Product(s)").

What Benefit Can I Get from the Settlement? Class Members who submit a timely and valid Claim Form will receive a cash benefit as set forth below. Class Members who submit a valid Claim Form and either (1) purchased an Eligible Product directly from www.chiccousa.com, (2) registered an Eligible Product with Artsana or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), or (3) provide other proof of purchase will receive a cash payment of $50. Class Members who submit a valid Claim Form without proof of purchase will receive a cash payment of $25. Visit www.ArtsanaBoosterSeatSettlement.com for more information about the cash benefits.
