BARRIER EXERCISE - 20th of August

Barrier Exercise

Monday, August 20th!

for a free repair kit that includes

a restraint belt and instructions

on how to safely use the seat.

The repair kit can be ordered by

visiting

www.recall.BumboUSA.com

or calling 866-898-4999.

The recall affects all Bumbo

Baby Seats, which the company

said can be identified in several

ways including:

• On the front of the seat in

raised lettering is the word

"Bumbo" with the image of an

elephant on top.

• The bottom of the seat has the

following words: "Manufactured

by Bumbo South Africa Material:

Polyurethane World Patent No.

PCT: ZA/1999/00030." The back

of the seat has several warnings,

and seats manufactured since

2008 also have warnings on the

front of the seat against use on

raised surfaces.

In a statement, the company

said it was adding a restraint

belt to enhance the safety of chil-

dren using the Bumbo seat.

"The restraint belt will help pre-

vent children from getting out of

or falling from the seat when it

is used as intended: on the floor

with adult supervision and never

on raised surfaces," said the

statement.

"The health

and safety of

children using

the Bumbo

Baby Seat are

our top priori-

ties."

The Bumbo

floor seats

were sold at Babies R Us, Tar-

get, Walmart and other retailers

nationwide from August 2003

through August 2012.

CPSC Bumbo Baby Seats have

been recalled for the second

time.

About 4 million Bumbo Baby

Seats are being recalled after

nearly two dozen reports of in-

fant skull fractures.

The Consumer Product Safety

Commission says babies can wig-

gle out of the floor seats.

About 1 million of the molded

foam seats were recalled in Octo-

ber 2007 for additional warning

labels against placing the Bumbo

seats on raised surfaces, such as

tables or kitchen counters.

Since the first recall, CPSC and

Bumbo International of South

Africa have learned of at least 50

incidents in which babies fell

from Bumbo seats while they

were being used on raised sur-

faces. CPSC says another 34 ba-

bies fell from the seats while

they were being used on the floor

or at an unknown elevation. In

all, there were 21 reports of skull

fractures to infants.

Consumers are asked to stop us-

ing the seats and contact Bumbo

4 Million Bumbo Baby Seats Recalled
