Millions of Baby Slings Recalled

By Angel Reyes

On the heels of an earlier warning about baby sling carriers, the Consumer Product Safety Commission linked 3 infant deaths to suffocation involving Infantino SlingRider and Wendy Bellissimo slings.  According to the CSPC, the slings can press against an infant's nose and mouth causing suffocation or the sling can otherwise cause a baby's chin to press against the baby's chest resulting in suffocation.  The Infantino slings were sold at Target, Babies"R"Us and Burlington Coat Factory from 2003-2010.  Infantino lists details of the recall here and has agreed to replace the product free of charge for purchasers by calling 866.860.1361.
