“The middle seat in the second row of seating slammed down onto my 10 year old son's hand and severely broke and mangled his finger. He required surgery at a children's hospital the next day to repair it. The first and third seats in the second row shut and lock into the floor relatively safely, but the middle seat slams down like a guillotine. The car was parked and my son was helping clean it out.”
