NHTSA Seeks Answers on Graco's Partial Car Seat Recall

Federal safety authorities are formally questioning a child-safety-seat manufacturer after the company refused to recall 1.8 million car seats as requested.

According to the Detroit News, NHTSA on Thursday sent a 14-page request seeking “all documents related to Graco’s reasoning and rationale for excluding” certain seats.
