Canadian Product Recall: Baby Slings

March 25, 2010

On March 23, 2010, Health Canada Consumer Product Safety issued a product recall for baby slings. Slings affected by the recall are the Infantino SlingRider™ and Infantino Wendy Bellissimo™ sold between January 2003 and March 2010 at Walmart, Babies “R” Us, other retail stores, and online at Amazon.com.

The slings are being recalled due to risk of suffocation or smothering of a child under 4 months of age between the parent/caregiver’s body and the fabric of the sling. At this time, Health Canada has not received any reports of injury or death caused by the sling, but the US Consumer Product Safety Commission has received 3 reports of infant death.

Health Canada advises consumers to stop using this product immediately and contact Infantino immediately for a replacement product. For full information on the recall and steps to return the defective product and receive a replacement, please visit Health Canada's recall website at www.healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2009/12803r-eng.php.
