When the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) did the testing, the 66 infant seats tested in frontal crashes, nearly half of the seats either separated from their bases or exceeded injury limits-this is extremely scary. Benson & Bingham handles products liability accident cases and will investigate a potential case anywhere in the world. If you or a loved one has suffered the loss of a child restrained in a defective baby car seat call us today.
Nearly all brands of car seats have been tested and proven to have defects. Those brands include: Evenflo, Graco, Combi Centre, Britax Companion, Graco SafeSeat, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio, Chicco KeyFits crash test, among others.
Evenflo Embrace model car seats, for instance, may have an accidental or unintentional detachment during a rollover event. The design of the child car seat can detach causing a child seat carrier detachment from the base. The issue we have researched and hypothesized is a combination of inertial detachment given latch movement if contact is established with the front passenger back-rest. This alleged defect is in the Embrace child car seat available at most retailers. The discovery model child car seat was recalled by the NHTSA for unintentional detachment in a side impact accident. The standard test for this sled impact accident is a 30mph impact which the government deems to be a fair impact velocity. The immediate fix for this horrific design was a duel supplemental safety strap which was available from Evenflo. This design flaw in the Child seat system can lead to death of infants in side impact collisions. Call us at 702-382-9797 today if your Baby's Car Seat didn't fully prevent auto injury.
