CPSC, Baby Swede, LLC Announce Recall to Repair "Baby Bjorn" Infant Carrier

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Baby Swede, LLC, Cleveland, OH, is recalling about 240,000 "Baby Bjorn" fabric infant carriers for repair. Small infants can slip through the leg openings and fall. Infants that are under 2 months of age are at greatest risk.

CPSC and Baby Swede, LLC are aware of nine reports of infants slipping through the leg openings of these carriers and falling to the ground. Six of these infants suffered fractured skulls.

The "Baby Bjorn" Infant Carrier is a soft-fabric, front carrier sold in navy-blue, black, denim, forest green and other colors. The name "Baby Bjorn" is printed on the front and strap of the carrier.

Juvenile specialty stores and mail-order catalogs nationwide sold these carriers from January 1991 through October 1998 for about $75.

Consumers should immediately stop using these carriers for children under 2 months of age. All carriers need to be repaired. Baby Swede, LLC is offering consumers a free retrofit kit that, when attached to the carrier, will reduce the size of the leg openings. All consumers should call Baby Swede, LLC toll-free at (866) 424-0200 anytime to receive the retrofit kit.

Carriers currently being sold are not included in this recall.

Well for me tha's a relief! Thanks for looking Jackie. We just bought ours back in October I think... which is well outside the dates for the recall. I will still double check my package though just to be on the safe side. :)

here is the one for the baby bjorn active: It is still for ones purchased 9/2003-Aug 2004 though so still well out of range if you bought it (new) in 2005 http://www.cpsc.gov/CPSCPUB/PREREL/PRHTML04/04214.html

Thanks for that site Lisa. I checked the one we had after looking at the Baby Bjorn site that had pics to illustrate the difference bewteen the old and updated version. We have the new updated version and so far that has not been recalled.
