Baby-wearing parents should be aware of a new recall affecting child backpack carriers. That's because Osprey has issued a recall of 82,000 child backpack carriers in the U.S. -- and an additional 5,732 in Canada -- for a potential fall risk.
This recall affects all Poco, Poco Plus and Poco Premium child backpack carriers manufactured between January 2012 and December 2014. There have been four reports, so far, of children falling through the carrier's leg openings, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC.) Unfortunately, these incidences have resulted in one report of a skull fracture and one report of scratches to the head.
Product description
Affected carriers were sold for between $200 and $300 from January 2012 to December 2015 at REI and specialty outdoor stores across the nation and online at Amazon.com. They are made of nylon, and have a metal frame and a gray padded seat inside. These carriers were sold in three colors: ?Romper Red,? ?Koala Grey? and ?Bouncing Blue.?
