TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 EVENFLO 274 (BIG KID) BOOSTER SEAT, MODEL NUMBER 3391851A. THE MANUFACTURED DATE WAS JANUARY 2, 2008.

MY 3 YEAR OLD CHILD WAS RESTRAINED IN AN EVENFLO "BIG KID BOOSTER SEAT" IN THE REAR-MIDDLE SEAT POSITION OF A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. THEY WERE T-BONED BY A DRUNK DRIVER RUNNING A RED LIGHT, AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED-OVER SEVERAL TIMES, ULTIMATELY LANDING ON THE ROOF. THE EMS PERSONNEL AND THE EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTORS BOTH DEEMED THE CHILD BOOSTER SEAT TO BE "INADEQUATE" AND A "VERY POOR RESTRAINT," (AS WRITTEN IN MY DAUGHTER'S MEDICAL RECORDS). EVERY INTERCONNECTING COMPONENT BECAME LOOSE, ULTIMATELY RESULTING IN MY DAUGHTER HITTING HER HEAD & RECEIVING A DEEP CUT, WHICH HAS LEFT HER WITH A PERMANENT SCAR. *JB
