Baby Carrier Recall: Products Sold At Target, Amazon Recalled For Falling Hazard

Infant carriers made by Infantino have been recalled due to structural issues that pose a falling hazard. While no issues have been reported, the buckles on the roughly 14,000 carriers can break and cause the infant inside them to fall out, according to an official recall Thursday from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The affected products were sold at Target, Amazon, and a number of other retailers.

They include the Go Forward 4-in-1 Evolved Ergonomic, Flip Front2back, and Up Close Newborn products. They were sold between November and December of last year for $30-50.

“This recall involves Infantino soft infant and toddler carriers,” the CPSC stated in its official description of the product. “The front facing infant carriers are cotton with a front padded pouch. The carriers have a black body and black straps or a gray body and black straps. Only Infantino carriers with the following four lot codes are included in the recall. The product name and lot code are identified on label sewn into the inside of the carriers.”

Consumers that own any of the affected carriers are urged to stop using them immediately and replace them with new ones.

Infantino will offer replacements to consumers that contact (800) 840-4916.
