Baby Sling Product Recall | Great Product In Concept, But Deadly

How Defected Baby Product Caused Tragic Deaths

As a mother or father, all you can hope for your children is that they grow up to be healthy and happy people. But what if they never get to grow up? It is a tragedy when any parent must bury a child. It is an even bigger tragedy when the death could have been prevented.  This is the case for many parents who used the baby sling "slingrider" made by Infantino. The product, which the company has put on recall on their own, has caused 3 infant deaths in the past year alone.

Baby slings in general, are not as safe as one would hope. It is calculated in a news report by MSNBC that over the past 20 years, there have been 14 deaths by baby sling devices. In theory these devices seem like a great idea. The mother or father can go about their day without have to carry their baby but still have them close and against them the whole time. It is proven to improve a bond to the mother and child if the baby and mother have close body contact which the slings provide. However, the risks are just too great and outweigh the benefits of the product.

Less than a week ago, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada (HC), along with Infantino, themselves, have recalled the "SlingRider" and "Wendy Bellissimo" baby sling products. Over one million baby slings are being recalled in the U.S. alone. Infantino is initiating a product replacement program. If you own a baby sling product by Infantino, you may cut off the product tag or contact the company at (866) 860-1361 or on the Infantino website. If you or someone you know has been affected by a recalled product, it may be means for a product liability case.
