|
| Problem: |
The English language statement of compliance label is incorrect with
respect to the weight range specified for the booster cushion mode. The
label should have stated that for the booster cushion without the harness
system the weight range for this unit is 18 - 36.3 kg (40 – 80 lbs);
instead of 13.6- 36.3 kg (30 – 80 lbs.) The French labels and
instructions are correct. |
| |
|
| Background & Company Action: |
A consumer identified the problem with the restraint system label and
contacted Century and Transport Canada. Century immediately initiated an
investigation into the matter and determined that they had a compliance
problem.
|
| |
|
| Safety Risk: |
Century consider the problem to be a low risk hazard. The correct booster
cushion weights are reiterated on another label and in the instructions. |
