More than one million SlingRider and Wendy Bellissimo baby slings have been recalled in U.S. and around 15,000 in Canada. This is the second recall for Infantino in three years.

San Diego defective baby sling

As per the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), infants are likely to suffer from suffocation in these soft fabric slings. Parents with infants who are younger than four months have been advised against using the sling. The commission had received incident reports relating to the deaths in infants including a seven-week old infant in Philadelphia; a six-day old in Salem, Oregon; and a three-month old baby in Cincinnati, Ohio. There have been 13 such deaths related to sling carriers.

The president of this sling manufacturing company, Jack Vresics, has announced that the company will offer a free replacement baby carrier, activity gym, or shopping-cart cover to any affected consumer. At the moment, there are no safety standards that manufacturers adhere to while making baby slings. But ASTM International is in the process of developing such guidelines for soft slings.
