Better put down the coffee, lady, you’re going to need both hands free to catch your baby. Because while the Beco Butterfly baby carrier is awfully cute, the shoulder strap buckles can “unexpectedly release tension”, which might unexpectedly release your infant. And unless you have the reflexes of an NFL wide receiver, it might result in your baby falling on the ground. Which is NO GOOD.

The carrier was sold at specialty stores nationwide between January and February 2008, for around $140. Sheesh, at that price you would think they could afford some more quality control. Models affected by the recall are: Mia, Pony Express, Carnival, Addison, Ethan, Sophia, Cameron, Ava and Joshua. Customers are being advised to stop using the carriers immediately, and to contact Beco for instructions to receive a replacement. You can either call them at 888-943-8232 or visit Beco’s website.
