plastic frame with a red foam trim. Three yellow cords connect the seat to a
blue plastic strap holder, which says "Cosco." Above the blue plastic strap
holder is a thick yellow strap, which connects to a green bungee cord. The
bungee cord attaches to a blue door hook.

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public
from unreasonable risks of serious injury or death from more than 15,000 types
of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries and
property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $700
billion annually. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families
from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard or
can injure children. The CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products -
such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals -
contributed significantly to the 30 percent decline in the rate of deaths and
injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury, call CPSC's
hotline at (800) 638-2772 or CPSC's teletypewriter at (800) 638-8270, or visit
CPSC's web site at
