1.3 No hand-held infant carrier produced after the approval date of this consumer safety performance specification, either by label or other means, shall indicate compliance with this specification, unless it conforms to all requirements contained herein.
1.4 This consumer safety performance specification is not intended to address accidents and injuries resulting from the interaction of other persons with the child occupant in a hand-held infant carrier or the accidents resulting from abuse and misuse by children able to walk.
1.5 This consumer safety specification is not intended to address incidents or injuries resulting from use of the product in a motor vehicle, nor is it intended to address any issues that may arise from the manufacturer meeting the certification requirements of FMVSS-213 or other applicable add on child restraint standards.
