Name of Product: Sling Carriers
Recall Date: June 6, 2024
Recall Number: 24-258
Hazard: The recalled sling carriers violate the safety requirements of the Safety Standard for Sling Carriers, including requirements for structural integrity and occupant retention, posing a fall hazard to babies. Additionally, the sling carriers pose a suffocation hazard because they fail to meet the federal safety standard’s requirements for restraint systems as the waist restraint can be used without the crotch restraint. Further, there are no warnings or instructional literature providing information to caregivers about keeping the baby’s face clear to prevent suffocation or safe positioning to prevent the baby from curling into a position with their chin resting on or near their chest. Sling carriers manufactured after January 30, 2018 are subject to the mandatory federal safety standard.
Sold At: Online at Walmart.com from September 2020 through April 2023 for between $15 and $21.
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled sling carriers and contact Joybuy Marketplace Express for instructions on how to properly dispose of the product and receive a full refund. Joybuy Marketplace Express and Walmart are notifying all known purchasers directly.
