LittleLife® discovers child carrier fall hazard


No one can dispute the healthy benefits of outdoor play for most young child.  Adding family adventure times to that scenario increases not only the physical health, but also the emotional health of youngsters.  Hiking, camping, going on fun outdoor explores with mom & dad are the foundation for some of the best childhood memories.  LittleLife products, designed by the UK Company Lifemarque, have helped to create these outdoor adventures for the many years.


This week they hit a rocky path when they announced the recall of some of their LittleLife Discoverer Child Carriers, sold from January through July 2011 in retail store and online web-stores in the USA (40 ea) and Canada (10). The green and gray carrier was marked with the number LS55060 underneath the sewn in care label.

Lifemarque acted quickly to recall the products before any injuries occurred.  It appears that these fifty carriers in the recall were missing the bolts that secure the main frame of the carrier to the metal supporting stand.  Without those bolts in place, the carrier can detach from the stand and fall backwards creating a fall hazard to a child in the carrier.



For more details on the carrier itself and where it was sold, see the CPSC recall here, or view Health Canada's press release here.
