Abstract
On November 27, 1996, NHTSA published a final rule requiring vehicles with air bags to have three new warning labels. Previously, manufacturers of vehicles without passenger-side air bags were permitted to omit language concerning the hazards to children from these bags. Due to an error, the regulatory language of the final rule did not include a similar exclusion from some of the warnings. This notice corrects that error.
