The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Aug 15, 2016, sent to the company Aug 23, 2016, published by CPSC Sep 26, 2016

    The product, in the report: Sunlite Child Carrier

    My husband was riding his bike with the Sunlite Child Carrier w/Steel Rack on his bike. We followed the instructions and according to them the seat was properly installed and secure. The only thing keeping the seat on is one bolt/screw with a tamper resistant child lock on it. My husband had just stopped at a stop sign and pushed forward on the peddle to start moving and the one screw holding the seat on came loose and the entire seat (with my 2 year old son inside) slid right off the rack flipped over twice before stopping. My son was wearing a helmet and other than a few scratches and being shaken up he was fine. But if my husband was going faster or my son did not have a helmet on, the damage could have been much worse.
