Baby Hammock Recall
Posted by Tanya Owen | POST A COMMENT
Health Canada is warning against using hammocks for infants and young children following a voluntary recall south of the border.
The department says it's issuing the warning due to a potential suffocation hazard.
Health Canada says the inclined sleeping surface increases the risk of babies rolling and becoming wedged in a position in which they can no longer breathe.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission partnered with MamaLittleHelper in announcing a voluntary recall of the company's hammocks this week.
Hammocks with the model numbers 1010, 1020 and BL222 were sold online at www.mamalittlehelper.com from May 2008 through last February, for between $100 and $230.
Health Canada says some of these products were bought in Canada, and recommends that consumers stop using them immediately.
