There have been several recalls this week so be sure to look around your home for the following:
Circo Booster Seats from Target (pictured right)
About 43,000 of these booster seats are being recalled because the strap can pop open unexpectedly causing a fall hazard. Manufacture date codes are located on the back of the seat and include these numbers: XJ0811, XJ0812, XJ0901, and XJ0902. Return the seat to Target for a full refund.
Safety 1st Stair Gates (Round 2)
About 100,000 of these stair gates were recalled back in Feb. 2009. There are hinges that can break and cause a fall hazard -- something you definitely don't want from a gate used at the top of the stairs. Now another 30,000 plus are being recalled (same model: 42111) for the same reason. You can visit the company's site for a free repair kit or call 866-690-2540.
Baby Hammocks (Round 2)
These baby hammocks are branded as La Siesta Yayita Baby Hammocks or just Yayita Baby Hammocks and were previously recalled in Aug. 2008. This update includes two new places of purchase: Kaplan Early Learning and Nova Natural Toys and Crafts. The hammock can flip over causing a fall hazard or a strangulation hazard if a baby gets hung up in the seat's straps. Kaplan (800-334-2014) is offering a credit toward another purchase and Nova Naturals (877-668-2111) is offering a free replacement hammock.
Graco Jump 'n Jive Doorway Jumpers
The jumper (model: 1755544) isn't actually the problem in this recall, but rather it's the attached toys. These toys are attached to the jumper with strips of fabric that can detach and pose a choking hazard. If you have this toy, remove the toys along with the fabric strips and give Graco a call at 800-345-4109 to get a replacement set of toys. You can also visit their site to order the new toys. Once these toys are removed the jumper is safe to use again.
