Child Seating Systems Manufactured by Fisher-Price, Inc.; Cancellation of Public Meeting and Termination of Proceeding

Resumo

By notice published on August 1, 1994, NHTSA scheduled a public meeting for August 17, 1994 regarding an appeal by Fisher-Price, Inc., of NHTSA's denial of its petition for an exemption from the recall requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Fisher-Price recently advised the agency that it is now taking the position that it has not determined that its child safety seats failed to comply with the flammability requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 213. Under the agency's regulations, a manufacturer may not seek an exemption from the recall requirements in the absence of such a determination. Therefore, this proceeding is hereby terminated, and the public meeting is hereby cancelled.
