The makers of the Bumbo® Baby Seat are conducting a voluntary recall to add a restraint belt and new warnings to the popular infant/baby product.
Four million of its popular baby seats are being recalled after at least 50 reports of infants falling from seats placed on elevated surfaces.
Infants can maneuver out of or fall from the seat posing a risk of serious injuries. Bumbo has added a restraint belt and a new warning sticker for consumers to attach to the seat, warning consumers not to use the seat on elevated surfaces. to re-emphasize existing warnings against use of the seat on any raised surfaces.
Injuries occurred when babies fell from a Bumbo seat while it was placed on an elevated surface. There have also been reports of infants who fell out or maneuvered out of the seat when used on the floor as well.
Consumers can complete an order form to obtain a free Repair Kit which includes a belt with a new warning sticker, installation instructions, proper use instructions and a new warning sticker.
The Bumbo website said there is no need for consumers to return the Bumbo Baby Seats.
Consumers can order the free kit from Bumbo’s website.

I was a little suprised to see this recalled again, it seems so common sense to me I am shocked that people can’t get it sorted. I was even more shocked however when a very good friend posted a picture on Facebook of her 6 month old baby on the counter in a Bumbo! Whats wrong with people? I had the Bumbo before the sticker was added (1st recall) and putting it on a counter never crossed my mind lol.
