Baby Clothes, Strollers Recalled

Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection announced recalls of baby and infant products Monday, including Carter's brand outfits and Bumbleride strollers.

Weeplay Kids, LLC. is voluntarily recalling 128,000 of its Carter's "Watch the Wear" Bodysuits and "Sleep 'n Play" clothing, according to a Department press release.

Snaps that are on the clothing can detach, according to the release, which could create a choking hazard for children. No injuries have been reported, according to the release, but the company has had about 30 reports of the snaps coming off.

The clothing was sold from November 2010 through August 2011 at stores throughout the nation, including Big Lots and Kids Place, for $4 to $9.

The outfits are: pastel blue, pink and yellow, and packaged as solids, stripes and patterns, and sold in packages of two, three or five, according to the release.

The following style numbers, which can be found on the back of the package, are affected:

Watch the Wear Bodysuit: N8963LB, N8963LG, N8963LN, N8964B1, N8964B2, N8964G1, N8964G2, N8964LB, N8964LG, N8964LN, N8964N1, N8991LW

Watch the Wear Sleep 'n Play: N8965LB, N8965LG, N8965LN

Those with any of the styles listed should stop using them immediately and call or e-mail Weeplay for free replacements at (888) 226-2200 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Mon. - Fri. or by e-mail at info@weeplaykids.com.

The second recall is of 28,000 Bumbleride brand Indie and Indie Twin Strollers. According to the release, "the front wheel on some models can break at the axle hub, causing the stroller to tip." Thirty-six breakages have been reported to the company, along with two minor injuries because of the break.

The recalled Bumbleride strollers are models: I-107, I-110 and I-205 and were manufactured from Jan. 2009 - Aug. 2011. Owners can find out a strollers date of manufacture on a white rectangular sticker on the side of the seat frame, according to the release.

The recalled Indie Twin strollers are models: IT-108, IT-111, and IT-305 and were also manufactured from Jan. 2009 - Aug. 2011. The manufacture date can be seen on a white sticker on the underside of the handle of this stroller.

The strollers were sold for between $500 - $700 throughout the nation at Buy Buy Baby and other retailers, and online at Bumbleride.com, and other online stores from Jan. 2009 - Jan. 2012.

Those owning one of the two types of strollers should stop using it immediately and contact Bumbleride for a free front wheel retrofit kit.
