Product Recall: Beco infant carrier
Categories: Health & safety, Shopping and recalls
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of about 2,000 Beco Baby Butterfly Carriers due to faulty buckles. The buckles can unexpectedly release tension and cause the strap to slip through, posing a falling hazard to baby. Beco has received eight reports of this happening with no injuries reported.
The carriers were made in the U.S.A. and the Dominican Republic and sold under the brand name "Beco Baby Carrier Butterfly." They have a black label with a green letter "b" on the left side and a butterfly on the right. You can find the label sewn onto the outside of the carrier. The recall includes the following styles: Mia, Pony Express, Carnival, Addison, Ethan, Sophia, Cameron, Ava and Joshua.
These were sold at specialty retail stores nationwide as well as on the Internet from January 2008 through February 2008 for about $140 each.
If you have one of the recalled carriers, you should stop using it immediately and contact Beco Baby Carrier for instructions on returning it for repair. You can reach them by calling (888) 943-8232/9-GET-BECO between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or by visiting their Web site.
