Owner Narrative
After gently removing the fabric cover of our Cybex Eternis S All-In-One car seat to wash it according to the manufacturer's care instructions, and then putting the cover back on, the car ride immediately following, the red plastic pieces designed to hold the cover in place completely snapped off. This structural failure exposed two sharp, unshielded metal screws directly in the child's seating area. Because these screws were left fully exposed by the broken plastic, they created an immediate laceration hazard. As a direct result of this defect, my young daughter's leg was cut by the exposed screws while using the seat.
