Child Seat Defects

Child safety seats are meant to help keep children safe from serious injury in the event of an accident. In recent years, state legislatures have been pro-active in mandating child safety seats for all children up to a certain age. State laws have also been vigilant about requiring that car seats be properly installed.

What remains missing, however, is a regulatory scheme holding child safety seat manufacturers to the same kinds of standards that automobile manufacturers are held to. And despite parents diligence in purchasing and installing car seats for their children, dangerous designs and faulty manufactures continue to persist allowing the seat to fail at a critical moment, causing serious injury or death. In the event such a tragedy occurs, the manufacturer responsible needs to be held accountable.
