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.

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.

Well just looking at the picture of this crib it looks like a baby could easily fall out regardless of it being broken or not, but perhaps we’re just not up on the latest in crib styles. Apparently the problem is that the support brackets on the mattress support spring are too long, which blocks the mattress from being lowered all the way — specifically, to the 26 inch minimum required between the mattress and the top of the crib railing. Anything higher than that, and junior can crawl his way over the top and potentially fall right on his noggin.
