The Dear One Baby Carrier is the safest and most comfortable baby carrier available today. The hard plastic exterior retains its shape despite minor impacts, protecting baby from the outside, while the thick interior “comfort pad” acts as a shock absorber inside. The interior design has been comfort-tested by thousands of infants, and the exterior handles have been designed with the arms and hands of caring parents in mind. Perhaps best of all, the Dear One Baby Carrier converts easily from an at-large carrier to a car seat, reducing the risk to baby posed by being shifted from one carrier to another.
Which of the following, if true, would most undermine the claim to safety made on behalf of the Dear One Baby Carrier?
A. An infant safety commission announces that most dropping accidents involving infants occur when a parent is the primary caretaker.
B. A survey conducted by a popular magazine reveals that a large number of parents are still not aware of the danger posed to infants by putting their carriers in the front seat.
C. A parents’ group endorses the Dear One Baby Carrier as the most convenient baby carrier to take on vacation.
D. A manufacturer adds a “danger of suffocation” label to the bedding used for the interior of the Dear One Baby Carrier.
E. An article written by a pediatrician states that at-large baby carriers do not safely double as car seats.

Between D and E, why not eliminate E? As E is pretty general while D is specific to The Dear One Baby Carrier. Both options are mentioning regarding unsafe nature of carrier.
The reason to be skeptical of (D) is that a manufacturer adding a label is not a convincing argument that the carrier itself is unsafe, only that one of its components requires a warning label. Reading more carefully, we see that it's simply a label added by the manufacturer to the bedding, NOT to the carrier itself; this may or may not be a danger posed once the bedding is put into the carrier -- which is what I think the above-referenced GMATClub explanation is trying to say. It would be the equivalent of claiming that a car is unsafe because the gasoline has a warning label on it about its flammability. Yes, the gas is dangerous and requires a warning, but the car itself should still be perfectly safe.

The most important skill that will help in CR is pre-thinking. Reasoning and pre-thinking skills can be improved by "proper" practice.
There could be multiple ways to weaken the given argument. The below kind of reasoning should come to our mind in pre-thinking.
1. The new material can be allergic to certain skin types. Then it cannot be said to be safe for all kids.
2. the new material can become brittle on long exposure to sunlight. This feature might ve not been tested in manufacturing phase and hence it is not safe as the material becomes brittle.
Now going thro' the options we can see that the option E, which says that the USP of converting to Car Seat compromises on Safety.
Hence E weakens the argument.
