November 21, 2007:  The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (”CPSC”) has announced a recall of select models of Boppy Slipcovers, which are imported by The Boppy Company of Golden, Colorado.   

The recall involves particular Boppy Slipcovers (see CPSC for specifics), including certain velvet and boa slipcovers. 

According to CPSC,  “The zipper pull on the slipcovers can break, posing a choking hazard to young children. In addition, paint on the zippers contains excess levels of lead, which violates the federal lead paint standard.”

No injuries have been reported.

Note:  If you own a Boppy Slipcover, keep in mind your slipcover may not necessarily be affected by this recall.  When I heard about the recall, I got a little jumpy when I saw a slipcover resembling mine on the CPSC site.  After checking the tag on my slipcover, I was relieved to learn it wasn’t recalled (the date code didn’t match the slipcover listed on the CPSC site).
