View Comments

Infantino Sling Recall SlingRider Wendy BellissimoInfan­tino has announced a vol­un­tary replace­ment pro­gram for the Infan­tino Slin­gRider infant baby car­ri­ers. They have issued the vol­un­tary recall due to con­cerns raised by the Con­sumer Prod­uct Safety Com­mis­sion (CPSC) in the United States. This action is being taken in the US & Canada and also the UK and other Euro­pean countries.

One mil­lion of these infant slings are being recalled in the United States and 15,000 are being recalled in Canada. CPSC advises con­sumers to imme­di­ately stop using these slings for infants younger than four months of age due to a risk of suf­fo­ca­tion and con­tact Infan­tino for a free replace­ment product.

Baby Sling Safety: Top Ten Tips for Carrying Baby Safely

View Comments

In the United States the Con­sumer Prod­uct Safety Commission(CPSC) has issued a suf­fo­ca­tion warn­ing about sling car­ri­ers for babies. There cur­rently are no safety stan­dards for infant sling carriers.

The key con­cerns are:

  • Babies under two months have weak neck mus­cles mak­ing it dif­fi­cult to con­trol their heads. This can result in the sling fab­ric press­ing against a baby’s nose and mouth, block­ing the baby’s breath­ing and rapidly suf­fo­cat­ing a baby within a minute or two.
  • Slings where baby is in a curled posi­tion bend­ing the chin toward the chest can result in restrict­ing baby’s air­ways and lim­it­ing the oxy­gen sup­ply. The baby will not be able to cry for help and can slowly suffocate.
