Abstract
On November 27, 1996, NHTSA published a final rule requiring vehicles with air bags to have new warning labels. The preamble to the notice stated that one of the labels, the removable label, would have the following statement: ``Children Can Be KILLED or INJURED by Passenger Air Bag.'' (emphasis added) Two other labels, the sun visor warning label and the child seat label, also include statements indicating that death or injury can occur. Due to a typographic error, the figure in the regulatory text for the removable label indicates that the label should read: ``Children May Be KILLED or INJURED by Passenger Air Bag.'' (emphasis added). This notice corrects that error.
