Which? response to Panorama’s investigation into suspect child car seats found for sale on Amazon

Sue Davies, Head of Consumer Protection, Which?, said:

“It’s extremely concerning that Amazon doesn’t appear to have taken the basic steps needed to keep these potentially lethal car seats off the market, a year after we first exposed the serious safety issue.

“This is an issue that we’ve exposed time and time again across a whole range of products, and it’s clear that consumer protections on online marketplaces are nowhere near strong enough.

“As the government looks to increase regulation of online platforms, it must make marketplaces legally responsible for preventing unsafe products from being sold on their sites.”
