Plain-English summary

Ellaroo LLC is recalling about 1,200 Ring Sling baby carriers due to a fall hazard. The aluminum rings on the sling carriers can bend or break, which can cause the fabric to slip through the rings and infants to fall out of the carrier. The company has received four reports of rings bending and two reports of rings breaking, but no injuries have been reported.

The recall includes Ellaroo Ring Sling baby carriers with item numbers 2101 and 2102 printed on the outside of the product box. Only sling carriers with lot numbers 03/07 and 07/04 printed on a label, under the size label, inside the Ring Sling are included in the recall. The carriers are sold in mahogany, mango stone, brasilia and malay color prints.

The carriers were sold at juvenile product and department stores nationwide and online, including BabiesRUs.com, from June 2007 through February 2008 for about $100. Consumers should immediately stop using the sling carriers and contact Ellaroo for instructions on returning the carriers for a repair or replacement Ring Sling.
