CPSC, ZoloWear Announce Recall of Infant Carriers/Slings

05250 · Recalled 2005-08-23 · CPSC page

Description

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.

Hazards

The stitching that attaches the webbing to the carrier/sling can break, posing a fall hazard to young children.

Reported injuries

ZoloWear has received one report of the webbing coming apart from the sling, but the baby was not in the sling at the time. The company has not received any reports of falls or injuries.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using these carriers/slings immediately and call ZoloWear for instructions on having the carriers/slings repaired.
