Types of Defects

There’s no doubt that the baby product industry is booming. When you walk into a store to buy a child safety seat, you are accosted by a wide variety of choices. Most consumers assume that the choices available to them are safe, and choose seats based on price, their child’s age, weight, and height, design, and how it fits into their particular car.
