The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in conjunction with TwinGo LLC, of Mclean, Va., has announced a voluntary recall of about 4,160 Baby carriers because the waist buckle can break, posing a fall hazard to children in the carrier.
TwinGo has received 13 reports of buckles breaking worldwide, including 10 in the U.S., one in Canada and two in the UK. No injuries have been reported.
The Twin Go Original Carrier is an infant carrier designed to carry one or two babies against the caregiver’s body at the waist. It is intended for babies that are from 10 to 45 pounds. “Twin Go” is printed on a label located on the front of the carrier and an 11-digit batch number is printed on a label sewn to the waistband.
