LittleLife Baby Carriers
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The carriers were sold without bolts that attach the carrier's main frame to the metal stand. Missing bolts cause the carrier to disconnect from the stand and fall backwards, posing a fall hazard to a child in the carrier.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fall risk.
