    Booster-seat testing and marketing controversy

    ProPublica reported that Evenflo sold booster seats for children at weights lower than those reportedly recommended by company engineers. The report also questioned whether the phrase “SIDE IMPACT TESTED” conveyed a level of protection not established by a government standard or the company's internal testing. The reporting raised broader concerns about testing methodology, engineering advice, product labeling, and the marketing of child-restraint safety.
