SFI has discovered TANAKA driver restraint assemblies falsely represented as certified to SFI specification 16.1 and currently being sold through Ebay and Amazon. TANAKA was removed from the SFI 16.1 program in January of 2019 due to testing failures and unauthorized use of SFI labels. TANAKA does not have the legal right to use the SFI logo, term, or label. TANAKA products do not conform to SFI specification 16.1.
