Common Defects

When you choose a safety seat for your infant or child, you assume that it is safe. Unfortunately, tens of millions of child safety seats have been as a result of defects or safety issues. While there’s no doubt that many people have benefitted from these recalls, for others it’s too late.

Defects may include latching mechanisms that break or give too easily to pressure, latching mechanisms that are too difficult to open in an emergency, faulty straps that break or tear, weak bases or cushions, and faulty strap adjusters. Injuries may include brain and spinal cord injuries, soft tissue injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, chest and abdominal injuries, and wrongful death.
