DEFECT #1 - CHILD SEAT
Posted on: 1985-05-31
Description
Crotch strap buckle made of plastic requires 12 to 20 lbs. Release force which at times seems difficult to operate. To remedy this condition consumers have used lubricants to overcome the hard release.
Consequence
It has been determined that the lubricants can degradethe plastic material, causing one or more of the ears of the plastic button tobreak thereby jamming the buckle. This will discourage use of child seats.
Corrective Action
Consumers will receive a replacement crotch strap and buckle where required.
