Product name | Marathon Child Restraint Systems, Models E9106, E9W06, and E906 |
Description | Marathon child restraint systems, models E9106, E9W06, and E906. |
Problem | During testing, the tether hook opened which fails to conform to the dynamic performance and child restraint integrity requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 213, "Child Restraint Systems." Under certain circumstances, if a child exceeds 50 pounds and the vehicle manufacturer allows use of the top tether above 50 pounds, upon vehicle impact, the top tether hook may open and have the potential to release from the tether anchor. In the event of a crash, the child may move forward further than allowed under FMVSS 213. If this were to occur, there is a risk of potential injury to the child. |
