I believe it is indicating that the child lock is only 85% effective.

How the hell they arrived at that number we may never know, but I'll bet you it's buried on page 4,987,253 in clause 6, subsection 8 of European Union Product Safety Report 156.421a. Or something.

They just had a hundred babies try to pick the lock. Most of 'em couldn't do it.

85% of the time, it works every time
