LittleLife Discoverer Child Carriers Recalled Due to Fall Hazard

Lifemarque is recalling LittleLife Discoverer child carriers because missing bolts can cause the carrier to fall backwards, posing a fall hazard to children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (fall hazard) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Lifemarque, of the United Kingdom, is recalling LittleLife Discoverer child carriers. The recall involves about 40 units in the United States and 10 in Canada. The carriers are green and gray with a black metal frame and a folding leg bracket. "LittleLife" is printed on the back, and number LS55060 is printed on a tab sewn underneath the care label.

The carriers were sold without bolts that attach the carrier's main frame to the metal stand. Missing bolts cause the carrier to disconnect from the stand and fall backwards, posing a fall hazard to a child in the carrier. No injuries have been reported.

The carriers were sold at outdoor stores nationwide, Champaign Surplus in Champaign, Ill., Skinny Skis in Jackson, Wyo., Base Camp stores in Montana, and online at www.amazon.com, www.skinnyskis.com, www.thebasecamp.com, and www.MadAthlete.com from January 2011 through July 2011 for about $200. Consumers should immediately stop using the carriers and check to make sure there are two bolts on each side where the carrier's main frame attaches to the metal stand. If the bolts are missing, contact LittleLife for a free replacement product.
