AUTO COMFORT set of sun blinds — suffocation risk

EU Safety GateSerious riskSuffocationOct 24, 2008

Hazard

The product poses a risk of suffocation due to easy removal of the suction cups on the sun blinds and, since the lateral sun blinds are designed for installation in the vicinity of young children, the suction cups could be pulled off by a child and placed in the mouth. The suction cups on all 3 models can be detached at forces between 8 N and 72 N (instead of the required resistance of 90 N) and they fit entirely into the small parts cylinder.

Measures taken

  • Voluntary withdrawal from the market and recall from consumers — Other
