Q&A: Is everyone aware of the infant sling carrier recall?

Question by Tiggy’s Momma: Is everyone aware of the infant sling carrier recall?

Infantino is recalling about 100,000 of its SlingRider Infant Carriers in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The plastic slider on the carrier’s fabric strap can break. This can cause the strap supporting the carrier to release and infants to fall out of the carrier. The manufacturer has received 10 reports of the plastic sliders breaking, including eight reports of babies falling out of the carriers. Four children were taken to the emergency room due to their injuries, and one of these children fractured her skull.

This recall involves the Infantino SlingRider carriers with item numbers: 141-210; 151-210; 151-528; and 151-534. The carriers are sold in black or khaki. “Infantino” is printed on the plastic slider located on the strap. The item number is printed on a label inside the SlingRider. Products labeled “Made in Thailand” or “New 2007 Design” are not included in the recall.

The carriers were sold from July 2006 through February 2007.
if you have the effected models (like i do) go to www.infantino.com and they give you a free shipping label to send it back and they will send you a free replacement item
I never use mine (thank god) because my daughter hates it… every time i put her in it she starts to scream…

This is CRAZY..Shouldn’t they have more testing on toys like this?? What are your thoughts on the crazy amounts of lead in our child(s) toys??

Q&A: Does everyone know about product recall in the USA – E. Coli Virus?

Question by kja63: Does everyone know about product recall in the USA – E. Coli Virus?

Just want to make sure that everyone heard about the E Coli virus in packaged raw spinach. Do NOT eat any of it!

They have yet to pinpoint a specific growing region, grower, brand or supplier. This is a nationwide alert.
Oops! You are right. E. Coli is a bacteria not a virus! Thank you 🙂
