 After numerous incidents of injury, 100,000 infant sling carriers made
by Infantino have been recalled. Thursday the US Consumer Product Safety
Commission announced the recall of the SlingRider Infant Carrier. The
slings have a plastic slider on the fabric strap that can break causing infants
to fall out of the carrier. There have been ten reports of the sliders
breaking. Eight babies actually fell out of the carriers, four of which had
impact injuries and were taken to the emergency room. One baby received a
fractured skull. The recall involves
the Infantino SlingRider carriers with item numbers 141-210, 151-210, 151-528
and 151-534. They were sold at Target Stores, Babies R Us, BJ's
Wholesale Club, Modecraft and other retailers nationwide from July 2006 through
February 2007. Products labeled “Made in Thailand” or “New 2007 Design” are
not included in the recall. For more information, contact the safety commission
