What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Sewn Products DBA TigerTough is recalling certain TigerTough seat covers, specifically models T62213BLK and T62131BLK. The recall involves approximately 500 units. The defect involves the stitching on the seat cover side flap, which may not break away as intended during a crash. This failure can cause the side air bag to deploy incorrectly.
