Maya Wrap Recall

[Guest guest]

Thank you for the recall heads up Hawke!

Glad my Maya Wrap is an older one (my almost 30 lb. not so little guy

doesn't fit in his anymore, but still

So, how's that new baby of yours (and the new mama too

How do you like this extended summer (Yay it didn't hit 90 down here today,

only 89!)? I figure since you're up in the Colorado high country you must be

happy there isn't snow yet, but it's coming, and soon I bet!

*Hugs*

Chris (list mom)

Recall Infant Carriers/Slings

CPSC, Maya Wrap Announce Recall of Infant Carriers/Slings

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety

Commission (CPSC), Maya Wrap, of Omaha, Neb., is voluntarily recalling about

5,000 infant carriers/slings. The welds of the metal rings that support the

carriers/slings can break, posing a fall hazard to young children.

 

Maya Wrap has received 20 reports of the rings breaking. The company

received

a report that one child fell to the ground but no injuries were reported.

 

The recalled carriers/slings are made of 100-percent cotton fabric with two

metal support rings. The rings measure 1/8-inch in width. They were sold in

a

variety of colors, prints, and sizes. A large white label sewn in the slings

reads in part, " MAYA WRAP " and " ECHO EN GUATEMALA " . Web sites and individual

distributors nationwide sold these carrier/slings from January 2001 through

July 2001 for between $30 and $40. Also, eight children's boutiques in

various states sold these carrier/slings.

 

Consumers should stop using these carriers/slings immediately and call Maya

Wrap at (800) 501-9979 anytime, for instructions on how to have the

carriers/slings repaired.

 

Carriers/slings with ¼-inch width rings are not included in this recall
