CPSC, ZoloWear Announce Recall of Infant Carriers/Slings
Published: August 23, 2005Recall ID: 05250Category: generalCountry: US
Reason for Recall / Hazard
The stitching that attaches the webbing to the carrier/sling can break, posing a fall hazard to young children.
Product Description & Identification
The recalled slings are made of 100-percent cotton fabric or 97 percent cotton/ 3 percent Lycra with two pieces of webbing holding the rings to the fabric. Solid natural color and five prints (Splash, Pink and Black Stripe, Pink and Brown Stripe, Pink Punch and The Hamptons) make up the lots included in the recall. A large white label sewn on the pocket of the slings reads "Zolo." ZoloWear slings should have three rows of stitching securing the webbing and fabric together. Some of the slings in these lots have short webbing, so only one row of stitching holds the webbing in place.
