Serious Representation for People Dealing with Serious or Grave Consequences
Aside from brakes and overall vehicle structure, you may view your child's safety seat as the most critical aspect or item in your car, van or truck. Unfortunately, serious safety issues have surfaced with many child car seats designed and produced by a range of manufacturers. Numerous product recalls have occurred, usually after children suffer serious injuries, and a recall may be unclear or poorly communicated.
Some of the valid safety issues prompting child car seat litigation have included:
- Failures to meet minimum safety requirements established by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)
- Straps, buckles and harnesses that do not adequately secure and protect a child, sometimes resulting in ejection when a crash occurs or jostling that results in head and brain, neck or other serious child injuries
- Mislabeling and errors in instructions for installation of the car seat
- Failures to recall a child car seat known to have safety problems, or failure to adequately communicate that product recall according to federal and state consumer protection laws
