2010-3-10 CPSC to issue safety warning about popular baby slings
Baby slings are being targeted by the US Consumer Product Commission for a warning that they can be dangerous to infants.
The CPSC has issued at least four recalls of the slings for falling apart, including one that followed eight infants falling out – four of whom ended up in the ER. However its not the risk of falling out, its the risk of suffocation that has provoked this warning.
More than 40 sling-related injuries are suspected over the past decade- including seven deaths.
