Your First Stop For All Things Regarding Child Safety Infant Toy Rattles Being Recalled!

Yesterday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the Lee Carter Co., of San Francisco, California, announced a recall of 25,000 infant rattles. The hazard is that the handle of the baby rattles violates the federal standard for toy rattles; it can fit into the throat of a child and cause choking.
The rattles were manufactured in Mexico and imported to the U.S. by Lee Carter Co. The rattles are made of colorful, woven plastic and contain a bell. The rattles are approximately 4-1/2 inches in length. A tag attached to a purple plastic loop at the end of the rattle’s handle has the words, “Made in Mexico” and “Lee Carter Company” printed on it.
The rattles would have been purchased at various Mexican specialty craft stores throughout the U.S. from February 2001 through October 2011 for about $4.
Parents and caregivers should immediately take the rattle from infants and children and either dispose of them or return them to Lee Carter Co. for a full refund or credit towards a replacement product. For more information, consumers can call Lee Carter Co. collect at 1(415) 824-2004 anytime, or visit the firm’s website at www.leecartercompany.com

Because the CPSC continues to be interested in hearing about any adverse experience with this toy rattle, consumers may report a negative experience to the CPSC on www.saferproducts.gov.

Your First Stop For All Things Regarding Child Safety Child Bicycle Helmets Recalled 
By Bryan Slaughter on January 11, 2012 8:19 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0) It still amazes me that child bicycle helmets that don’t meet basic impact resistance requirements can still make it to store shelves in this country. Is it too much to ask to have a system that prevents this from happening before kids are put at risk? Sigh.
Rant over — here’s the info from the CPSC’s press release (shockingly, the helmet was made in China – its name (“Little Tricky”) now takes on a whole new meaning):
Hazard: Product testing demonstrated that these helmets do not comply with CPSC safety standards for impact resistance. Consumers could suffer impact head injuries in a fall.
Description: The recalled items are multi-purpose helmets also sold for use as bicycle helmets. Little Tricky helmets are marketed for children and youth, and feature a large Little Tricky logo on both sides of the helmet. They come in one size and in black, white, pink and green. Triple Eight S/M EPS Liner helmets feature a hard black inner EPS foam liner and come in black, white, bone, blue and army green. Sector 9 S/M EPS Liner helmets feature the same EPS liner and come in gray, white, black, blue and green. Both the Triple Eight and Sector 9 helmets have an interior label indicating the size “S/M” for small/medium and a manufacture date indicated as month/year (ex. APR/2011). Only Triple Eight and Sector 9 size “S/M” EPS Liner helmets are affected.
Sold at: Bicycle and sports stores and other retailers nationwide and online from August 2006 through November 2011 for about $40.

30,700 Bumbleride Indie and Indie Twin Strollers Recalled
Last Updated on Monday, 9 April 2012 05:41 Written by Celframe Security Team Sunday, 8 April 2012 09:57
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a voluntary recall of more than 28,000 Bumbleride Indie and Indie Twin Strollers sold in the United States, and 2,700 sold in Canada, due to a fall hazard to very young children.
The strollers were manufactured in Taiwan and imported to the U.S. by Bumbleride of San Diego, California. According to the CPSC, 36 incidents of the strollers' front wheel cracking have been reported. The incident reports also included two reports of a stroller tipping over resulting in "minor" injuries.
The Bumbleride Indie strollers affected by this recall are model numbers I-107, I-110 and I-205 with a Date of Manufacture (DOM) printed on a label attached to the side of the seat frame, with dates from January 2009 through August 2011.
The Bumbleride Indie Twin strollers affected by the recall are model numbers IT-108, IT-111, and IT-305 with a DOM from January 2009 through August 2011 and were also sold in various colors. A label with the date of manufacture can be located underneath the stroller's handle.
Both the Bumbleride Indie and Indie Twin strollers were available for purchase from January 2009 through January 2012 from Buy Buy Baby and other baby and children's product stores throughout the U.S. and in Canada. The strollers were also sold online by Bumbleride.com and other online retailers during the same time period. The strollers sold for between $500 and $700.
Parents and caregivers should stop using the Bumbleride Indie and the Indie Twin Strollers for children immediately and contact Bumbleride to arrange to receive a free front wheel "retrofit" repair kit.
For additional information about this recall, please visit the firm's website at www.support.bumbleride.com or contact Bumbleride by email at support@bumbleride.com or by calling the company at 1(800) 530-3930 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Pacific Time Monday through Friday.
