Car Seats from Dirt Cheap stores safe?

What is salvage?
Salvage merchandise mostly consists of retail merchandise that has been claimed by an insurance company due to some form of natural disaster, whether it be fire, flood, or another form of damage to the store. We then buy the merchandise and resell it in our stores. Salvaged goods can also be considered liquidations, closeouts, business closings or overstocks.
Doesn't salvage mean that it's just junk?
In the retail industry salvage can have various definitions, but most of the time it is defined by anything that has value left in a secondary market. Originating with the term salvage value - an accounting term - "salvage" can mean brand new, still in the box and surplus stocks or it can be an insurance claim.
If it's unsellable in the beginning we simply dispose of it and move on. Our creed governs our decisions and we are committed to selling desirable merchandise at an honest and extremely discounted price.

We have this store called Dirt Cheap. It's a random mix of stuff from various stores. I've seen store brands and price tags from places like Target, Old Navy, Wal-mart and Kohl's, as well as name brand merchandise. It's supposed to be returns or defective items. There are no returns. You are responsible for checking to make sure things work. They provide a electrical outlet and testing space.
I was in there tonight and they had some car seats. I was looking at a Roundabout 50 that was $67. It's new, in the box, but opened of course. There was a sticker on the outside of the box that said "salvage".
That made me nervous, so I didn't get it. When I got home I looked up their site and this is what they say about Salvage items:


What do you guys think? Would you get it?
