PHILADELPHIA — Graco Children's Products said Tuesday it's recalling more than 300,000 infant car seats because they pose a possible choking hazard.

The company said the recall affects standalone SnugRide seats manufactured between Aug. 1, 2006, and June 30, 2007. They were sold at mass merchandisers, specialty retail stores and department stores from August 2006 until last week.

Graco said the backing of the seat pad may pull away from the seams, exposing the pad filling that could pose a potential choking hazard.
