Scary Baby Product Recalls: Are Any Of These On Your Registry?

Little Tikes 2-in-1 Snug ‘n Secure Pink Swing

Little Tikes’ 2-in-1 Snug ‘n Secure Pink Swing was cleverly designed for kids aged 9 months to 4 years to use – the safety straps and t-bar can easily be removed once the child is old enough not to need them anymore.

Unfortunately, 39 children to date have been hurt by the swings. Two of the injuries were broken arms, and the rest were mainly bumps, cuts, and bruises. In response, the company voluntarily recalled 540,000 of the toddler toys. The safety problem arose because the plastic swing seat can easily crack, posing a falling hazard. Little Tikes offered full refunds to customers with the affected swings, and remedied the problem. Parents-to-be: if you’ve registered for this swing, please check the Little Tikes website for more specific details on which serial numbers were involved in the recall.

Britax B-Agile and BOB Motion Strollers With Click & Go

Strollers are some of the most sought-after registry items. Here are two Britax models to look out for when you’re creating your baby wish list. The stroller manufacturer recently recalled more than 700,000 models, including the popular B-Agile and BOB Motion Strollers With Click & Go.

The recall was due to 33 incident reports involving the car seat sections becoming separated from their bases even when locked into the stroller. Several of the seats have crashed to the ground while the stroller was in motion, resulting in at least 26 child injuries. Britax provided free reinforced “Click and Go” receivers to people with the defective models.

Britax models currently on the market are safe, but new parents might want to call the Britax Customer Service hotline to double check their stroller’s safety before using.
