Note: The following information is from the Bumbo Canada website but the recall is applicable to the US as well.
“August 15, 2012 – Bumbo International Trust is conducting a voluntary recall to add a restraint belt and new warnings to the Bumbo® Baby Seat. Infants can maneuver out of or fall from the seat, posing a risk of serious injuries. Working closely with the Health Canada, Bumbo has determined that the potential safety issue can be readily corrected in the home by adding a restraint belt. In addition, Bumbo is providing a new warning sticker for consumers to attach to the seat to re-emphasize existing warnings against use of the seat on any raised surfaces.”
There is no need to send back the seat. You just have to send for a kit with restraint belt and new warning stickers. Do not use your Bumbo seat until it is fixed.
