BUMBO Recall

Some people have contacted us to let us know about the recent BUMBO recall...

This is a link that was sent to us:

http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml08/08046.html

It states:

CPSC has received 28 reports of young children falling out of the Bumbo Baby Sitter seat, including three skull fractures, which occurred when children fell out of chairs that had been placed on tables.

Addison is ALWAYS supervised and she is NEVER placed on a raised surface.

I believe the injuries were completely due to user error because it CLEARLY says on the back of the BUMBO:

WARNING

NEVER USE ON A RAISED SURFACE
NEVER USE AS A CAR SEAT OR BATH SEAT
DESIGNED FOR FLOOR LEVEL USE ONLY
NEVER LEAVE YOUR BABY UNATTENDED AS THE SEAT IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE TOTALLY RESTRICTIVE AND MAY NOT PREVENT RELEASE OF YOUR BABY IN THE EVENT OF VIGOROUS MOVEMENT

The recall states that the manufacturers will send an additional warning sticker if you contact them...
They're not actually asking users to send it back...


We love the Bumbo - it helps Addison sit up and look around instead of me having to hold her 24/7 or having her lay on her back.

James and I have decided to continue to correctly use the Bumbo for as long as Addison will sit in it!

We'd like to thank everyone for their concern...

To other parents - make sure you use the Bumbo as instructed!
