Why it was recalled

Due to a production error, a small number of bars on the tension lock buckles of the lower shoulder straps may have been cut.

Hazard

If the bar has been cut, it may cause the shoulder strap to release on one or both sides of the harness. The released strap could cause the child carrier to fall from the person wearing it, and, as a result, could pose a fall hazard to the child in the carrier.
