An increasing frequency of child restraint devices purchased through e-commerce do not comply with current Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), so they cannot be legally used to meet state legislative requirements and may be unsafe. Other devices are counterfeit, meaning they use stolen intellectual property, may be misrepresented as the original item, and may also be unsafe. Still others may be completely unregulated, so they do not fulfill minimum safety performance standards to assure safety. Attendees will have an increased ability to identify compliant, noncompliant, counterfeit and unregulated devices in the field, the ability to differentiate between categories of questionable products, and familiarity with appropriate reporting processes and field education.
