Bucket, new in store, expiring in 12/10

Today at a discount chain store, I was oogling car seats, as usual. I saw a 3 point harness infant bucket. I checked the expiration date and it was December 2010. It was the model, but should I have said something to the employees? What if someone tries to buy the model? Or sees one at a yard sale and assumes since this store has it new, its fine to use? Should I have said something or wait until it is actually expired, then insist it be destroyed or at least removed from the shelf? They only had one in a box and it was a 5 point newer version of the seat with a DOM of 3/09 or 5/09, not sure. I just hope they won't sell the model, since it didn't have the tag stating it wasn't for actual use. Any thoughts?

I probably would have brought it to the attention of the store manager but I woudn't have insited on anything. They may have gotten rid of it, maybe not but then they were at least aware of it
