Mommy Alert~ RECALL

Picture: side view and top view of Bumbo seat with restraint belt repair

If you have small children you probably recognize this though it may look a little different than the one currently in your home.  This is the all amazing bumbo seat. I have one and truly love it. However, they have been recalled as of today. Personally I think it is somewhat silly, but there are always people who lack common sense with these things and so making it into a larger issue.

These seats are not for raised surfaces, meaning they are not to be placed on things like tabletops or counters. Due to a  number of parents, caregivers, guardians deciding to do this several children have been injured by tipping or falling out of the seat. So the company has decided to issue a voluntary recall.

If you own one of these items this is what they say to do.  "Order the free repair kit by visiting www.recall.BumboUSA.com or calling (866) 898-4999 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Thursday and between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. CT on Friday. Do not return the Bumbo seat to retailers as they will not be able to provide the repair kit."

  1. I'm with you. It makes me mad that the company has to do a recall, voluntary or not, just because some parents don't use common sense.
