Child seat recall 2014 - After Graco announced a worldwide seat recall, investigations are now underway as to why the recall was delayed. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is now looking to investigate if Graco did indeed take long to report the defects in their child car seats.
Graco, which falls under the division of the Atlanta based company Newell Rubbermaid Inc., had announced a child seat recall 2014 at almost 6.1 million products. This is allegedly the biggest car seat recall with regards to children's seat in the history of US.
According to federal rules, manufacturers are required to report defects in the safety of their products within five days after they have become aware of the issue. Yet, Graco's child seat recall 2014 reportedly took longer than five days. If investigation proves that Graco did delay reporting the defects in their child car seats, a fine of up to $35 million or more may be implemented on the company.
Despite the issues on the delay of reporting flaws on the child seat recall 2014, Graco claims they have "thoroughly analyzed all data related to the buckles and took the required actions to keep our consumers safe" in a statement released Monday.
"We thoroughly analyzed all data related to the buckles and took the required actions to keep our consumers safe. We worked cooperatively with NHTSA throughout its investigation and will continue to do so moving forward," says Graco in an exclusive report by NBC News.
Graco is working hand in hand with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with regards to investigations on the child seat recall 2014. The safety agency and Graco have long been involved in the dispute over the recall. NHTSA claims the company had been "misleading and incomplete" with regards to documents included in the child seat recall 2014.
