    Consumer reports test cars TVs dishwashers almost everything we use. Two weeks ago it said it it tested twelve infant car seats. And could recommend only two we mentioned their findings on this broadcast -- today the magazine withdrew that report. ABC's Lisa stark tells us why. The video was dramatic and enough to scare any parent the consumer reports -- showed infant car seats flying. The magazine said it tested the seats at 38 miles an hour in side impact crashes 35 miles an hour -- crashes. The same speed the government uses on car crash tests. Today the venerable testing organization had to admit it messed up. We found a very recently that the side impact tests.

I think that they have to fall on their sword and basically do an autopsy of what went wrong and show the world that autopsy. Consumer reports -- launched an internal investigation and says it will retest the car seats. Other consumer advocates say this is a huge black
