Oct. 17, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — A recall has been announced for Gold Inc.’s Eddie Bauer fabric infant carriers, which were sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide and online between December 2017 and August 2018.
The carriers, which cost about $70, are worn by the parent or caregiver with the baby strapped into the front, a news release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says.
The recalled carriers are black with “Eddie Bauer” and “First Adventure” printed in gray lettering on the front, outside of the carrier.
The buckles on the carrier can break, posing a fall hazard for the infant. There have been eight reported incidents of broken buckles. No injuries have been reported, the news release says.
Anyone who has one of these carriers is advised to stop using it immediately and contact Gold Inc. to verify that the product is subject to the recall.
“Once the product is verified, consumers will receive replacement products of comparable value or a full refund,” the news release says. “Consumers who purchased this recalled product must cut off and return both straps and tag with their name, address, and phone number to receive selected replacement products, free of charge, or a full refund.”
Consumers can contact Gold Inc. toll free at 866-600-7205 Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT or email [email protected] or online at www.goldbuginc.com and click on Recalls for more information.
