When you buckle your child into his or her safety seat, you are putting a lot of trust in that seat’s manufacturer and distributor. Consumers naturally expect that manufacturers and distributors will take necessary actions to meet legal safety standards and make their products safe for their intended use. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. If you, or a family member, have been a victim of a defective car seat, don’t hesitate to contact the Kocian Law Group.

Car seats may suffer from design defects, manufacturing defects, or both. Design defects arise when the materials used to make the seat are sound, but the seat’s design poses an unreasonable risk. Manufacturing defects arise when the Design is sound, but the materials or processes used to put them together create a hidden danger.

A defective car seat is a car seat that fails to work as it was intended, due to either a design or manufacturing defect. Serious harm to a child riding in a defect car seat can result.
