Workerettes, please take note of this important product recall notice. Whether you're a mom, a gramma, or know someone who has a baby (or one on the way), you'll want to read this over. If your child is in daycare or cared for by a nanny, be sure to check with them as well to verify that they are aware of the recall and have taken proper steps toward safety with your baby.
Make sure that if you have an Infantino SlingRider you check the model number against their recall list. There are certain models that are not affected by the recall.
From the customer service page on the Infantino website, here is the recall information:

It seems like there is a new product recall everyday. I am especially concerned about all the recalls on children's toys and household products. I set up a personal file that alerts me to all product recalls and it sends me a timely notice when one of my products has been recalled.
