"Congress and Senators Demand Accountability for Delayed Vehicle Seat Safety Rules"
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) missed a congressional deadline to strengthen vehicle seats, prompting 10 senators to demand answers. This comes after a CBS News investigation revealed that the 1967 strength standard leaves vehicle front seats susceptible to collapsing in rear-end crashes, endangering children in the back seat. Safety advocates and senators are frustrated with the delay, emphasizing the urgency of addressing this issue to prevent further injuries and fatalities.
