Is anyone surprised about this? Basically, you shouldn’t put the Bumbo on an elevated surface. The CPSC says, “If the seat is placed on a table, countertop, chair, or other elevated surface, young children can arch their backs, flip out of the Bumbo seat, and fall onto the floor, posing a risk of serious head injuries.”
We sell tons of Bumbos in our center. Parents tell us it is the best thing since sliced bread. I couldn’t recall how many times I have recommended the Bumbo. However, we all need to use our noggins when it comes to our children and safety. Our children should never be unattended on any elevated surface, whether a changing table, kitchen counter or in a Bumbo. There is nothing actually wrong with the Bumbo, the product itself is fine. The recall is for a warning sticker to be put on the Bumbo to remind everyone to not leave your child unattened on any elevated surface.
Consumers can contact Bumbo International at (877) 932-8626 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. eastern time, Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.bumbosafety.com.
