ONE MILLION INFANT SLINGS RECALLED; THEY CARRY RISK OF ACCIDENTAL SUFFOCATION
From: New York attorney Gary E. Rosenberg (personal injury and accident attorney and lawyer; serving Brooklyn Queens Bronx; Brooklyn injury lawyer)
More than a million baby slings have been recalled after being linked to the deaths of three infants.
The recall involves one million Infantino "SlingRider" and "Wendy Bellissimo" slings sold in the United States and 15,000 sold in Canada.
The slings, manufactured in China and Thailand, were sold in the United States and Canada from January 2003 through March 2010 at Walmart, Burlington Coat Factory, Target, Babies "R" Us, BJ's Wholesale, and various baby and children's stores and other retailers nationwide, and on the Web at Amazon.com, for between $25 and $30.
The CPSC warned earlier this month about the risk of suffocation posed by sling-style baby carriers. This was the subject of a prior blawg by me on March 14, 2010.
