What’s wrong with it?
THIS NONCOMPLIANCE COULD LEAD FLIGHT ATTENDANTS TO REFUSE TO ALLOW A PARENT/GUARDIAN TO BRING OR USE THIS PRODUCT ON AN AIRPLANE, WHICH COULD CREATE A SAFETY RISK TO THE CHILD.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN 2001 MY SIT ‘N’ STROLL REAR-FACING AND FORWARD-FACING CONVERTIBLE CHILD RESTRAINT, MODEL NO. 2240, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN APRIL 1 AND OCTOBER 1, 2001.
THESE SEATS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 213, “CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS.” THE FAA CERTIFICATION STATEMENT, “THIS RESTRAINT IS CERTIFIED FOR USE IN MOTOR VEHICLES AND AIRCRAFT,” IS IN YELLOW LETTERING INSTEAD OF THE REQUIRED RED LETTERING.
