March 11, 2008: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (”CPSC”) has announced a voluntary recall of Ellaroo Ring Sling Baby Carriers (item numbers 2101 and 2102 printed on the outside of the product box, lot numbers 03/07 and 07/04 printed on a label), manufactured by Ellaroo LLC, of McKinney, Texas.

According to CPSC, “The aluminum rings on the sling carriers can bend or break. This can cause the fabric to slip through the rings and infants to fall out of the carrier.”

The recall affects approximately 1,200 sling units. No injuries have been reported.

If you have a sling carrier affected by the recall, CPSC advises you to immediately discontinue use of the carrier and contact Ellaroo. For further information about this recall, check out the CPSC news release here.
