Child car seats fail safety tests
Print Edition
FIVE types of child car seats have been removed from sale online after failing safety checks, officials said yesterday.
In recent tests, a third of the 15 batches scrutinized were found to have “serious quality problems,” the Shanghai Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau said.
Three of the five had been available on jd.com, while dangdang.com and yixun.com each stocked one of the defective brands, officials said.
The products failed a test that measures their performance in a head-on collision, the watchdog said.
The seats were manufactured by Taizhou City Gan’en Car Product Co, Jiangsu Best Baby Car Seat Co and Ningbo Beichi Children’s Product Co, among others.
Under Chinese law, car seats are compulsory for all children aged under 4, while passengers aged under 12 are required to sit in the back seat. More than 18,500 children under 14 die in traffic accidents in China every year.
