Bumbo Recall
Just yesterday I was thinking about what we would need for this new baby. Being that we have twins and we have saved everything except L’s clothes which were handed down to my sister and Aunt, we shouldn’t have to buy too much. Then I started thinking about all the baby stuff that has come out since we had our kids, crib aquariums with remotes, miracle blanket swaddlers and the bumbo seat were all things that I would like this time around. Now the very popular bumbo seat has been recalled.
One million of these seats sold at stores like Babies R Us, Target and Walmart are being recalled because of twenty eight reports of young children falling out of the seats.
“Consumers should contact Bumbo to obtain new warning label stickers and instructions for the recalled baby seats and should never use the infant seat on a table, countertop, chair or other elevated surface, the agency said.” They will resell this product when they properly package it along with new warning labels.
I think part of this problem is adults leaving their child unattended while placing this on a table or countertop. I can see why you may place the baby in the seat on a table to feed them, but why would you walk away from your baby? That really is the hazard, not the seat.
These chairs are for infants six weeks old to 12 months or 22lbs. You can get more information on this recall here.
