Over a million Bumbo Baby Seats have been recalled: potentially dangerous for children

The popular Bumbo Baby Seats are getting a recall as they are potentially dangerous for children, over one million of the seats will be recalled which have been made by Bumbo International of South Africa. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said that the reason for this voluntary recall is due to the fact that if the seat is placed on a table, chair or countertop, children could arch their backs then flip out of the Bumbo seat and could cause serious head injuries if they hit the floor.

The CPSC says has said that they have received 28 reports of children falling out of the seats and hurting themselves, In fact three children sustained skull fractures when the seat had been placed on tables.

The seats that were sold from August 2003 through October 2007 and were sold by Babies R Us, Kmart, Sears, Target, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, USA Babies and many others, and cost $40.

The CPSC has said that the Bumbo seats should never be placed on a table or other high places, and should never leave their children unattended.
