Bumbo Seats Recalled In US After Injuries

Four million Bumbo baby seats have been recalled in the US after scores of injuries were reported, including fractured skulls.

At least 50 incidents involving the Bumbo seats have been reported in the US since 2007 and according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), 19 incidents included skull fractures. In all of those 50 cases, the babies fell while the moulded-foam seat was on a raised surface.

The seats are popular in the UK but Trading Standards has confirmed that there is no alert or recall in place in Britain or elsewhere in the EU.

In a statement, the Bumbo manufacturer said consumers should stop using the product until they install a free repair kit, which includes a restraining belt and a new warning sticker.

Bumbo has also confirmed that it would be offering a free safety restraint in all countries where the seat is sold.
