"Consumer Reports was right to withdraw its infant car seat test report
and I appreciate that they have taken this corrective action," said
NHTSA administrator Nicole Nason. "I was troubled by the report because
it frightened parents and could have discouraged them from using car
seats."
...
"Weine said Thursday there was no information casting doubt on the 35
mph crashes.
"He said an internal investigation was under way and he could not yet
say how the test may have gone wrong, or who, if anyone, was to blame.
"This is very early," he said. "We found this information out very
recently and as soon as we did we wanted to take the most important
step which is openly communicating with consumers."
I'll bet sales of the two seats that did hold up at the higher speed do
pretty well.
