Zolo Recall

[lmariana]

ZoloWear Inc. is recalling about 177 ZoloWear infant carriers/slings. The stitching that attaches the webbing to the carrier/sling can break, posing a fall hazard to young children.

The slings were sold at www.ZoloWear.com, individual distributors, and five children's boutiques in California, Hawaii and Texas sold these slings from May 2005 through August 2005 for between $70 and $90.

Here is a little more info:

ZoloWear, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

ZoloWear is voluntarily recalling about 177 slings sold between May and August 2005 due to a manufacturing error. ZoloWear slings should have three rows of stitching securing the webbing and fabric together. Some of the slings in the recall lots have short webbing, so only one row of stitching holds the webbing in place. This stitching can break, posing a fall hazard to young children.

We have received one report of the webbing coming apart from the sling, but the baby was not in the sling at the time. We have not received any reports of falls or injuries.

Included in the recall are: solid natural color and five prints (Splash, Pink and Black Stripe, Pink and Brown Stripe, Pink Punch and The Hamptons).

Not every sling in these colors has a problem. To see if your sling needs repair, look at the recall webpage (http://www.zolowear.com/recall/) for photos.

If your sling appears to have bad webbing, or you are not sure, please stop using it immediately. Send us your sling so it can be repaired. There are two ways to return your sling to us for repair:

Mail the sling to us yourself
Request a postage-paid envelope, pack the sling in it, then leave the package out for your U.S. Postal Carrier

If you prefer to mail your sling in yourself to expedite the process, please mail it to:
