CPSC, ZoloWear Announce Recall of Infant Carriers/Slings

Is my product affected?

ZoloWear Infant Carriers/Slings

  • Brand ZoloWear Inc., of Austin, Texas

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

ZoloWear infant carriers and slings are being recalled because the stitching that attaches the webbing to the carrier can break, creating a fall hazard for infants. The recalled slings are made of 100-percent cotton or 97 percent cotton/3 percent Lycra fabric and come in solid natural colors or five printed patterns: Splash, Pink and Black Stripe, Pink and Brown Stripe, Pink Punch, and The Hamptons. These slings have a white "Zolo" label on the pocket.

The problem affects certain slings with shortened webbing that have only one row of stitching securing the webbing to the fabric, instead of the three rows that should be present. Consumers who own these recalled slings should stop using them immediately and contact ZoloWear for repair instructions.

What should I do?

Consumers should stop using these carriers/slings immediately and call ZoloWear for instructions on having the carriers/slings repaired.

Details from the source

The recalled slings are made of 100-percent cotton fabric or 97 percent cotton/ 3 percent Lycra with two pieces of webbing holding the rings to the fabric. Solid natural color and five prints (Splash, Pink and Black Stripe, Pink and Brown Stripe, Pink Punch and The Hamptons) make up the lots included in the recall. A large white label sewn on the pocket of the slings reads "Zolo." ZoloWear slings should have three rows of stitching securing the webbing and fabric together. Some of the slings in these lots have short webbing, so only one row of stitching holds the webbing in place.
