One Million Baby Slings Recalled After Three Babies Die

Following a broad warning from the Consumer Product Safety Commission earlier this month regarding sling-style baby carriers, more than one million baby slings produced by Infantino were recalled this week. The slings were sold from 2003-2010 under the names “SlingRider” and “Wendy Bellissimo” at Target, Babies R Us and Burlington Coat Factory. The deaths of three infants have been linked to the recalled slings that are made from a fabric that can cut off the supply of air,  block an infant’s breathing and  suffocate the baby within a a few minutes.
