The US government has announced the voluntary recall of four million "Bumbo" baby seats, warning infants could fall out, causing serious injury.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said that the South African-made seats - which are designed to support young babies who cannot yet sit upright alone - were potentially dangerous. The CSPC said that it was aware of 50 incidents since late 2007 in which children have been injured by falling from the seats.
The injuries ranged from skull fractures to bumps and bruises. The watchdog said that parents should stop using the seats until they install a free restraint belt and read new safety guidance that can be ordered via www.recall.BumboUSA.com. According to the manufacturer's website, recalls have also begun in Canada, the UK and Australia.
