What's wrong

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: 1996-1999 SIT'N'STROLL REAR-FACING AND FORWARD-FACING CONVERTIBLE CAR SEATS, MODEL 3240, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN NOVEMBER 1, 1996, AND JUNE 30, 1999.

Consequence

THE CHILD SEATS WERE NOT CERTIFIED AS MEETING THE 25 POUND WEIGHT REQUIREMENT OF THIS STANDARD.

Remedy
