Bumbo(TM) International Issues Clarification on "Recall"
No Need for Consumers to Return Bumbo Baby Seats, Just Follow New Warnings
| Source: Bumbo International
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - October 26, 2007) - Bumbo™ International (www.bumboseat.com) is
hoping to clear up confusion about this week's recall announcement. The
recall has to do only with the warnings, instructions and packaging of the
Bumbo Baby Seat. The product itself is not defective and does not need to
be returned. No refunds are being offered.
"When people hear the word 'recall,' they assume they should take the
product back, but in this case the Bumbo Baby Seat is fine when used on the
ground, but the warnings, instructions and packaging need to be updated,"
said Mark Buchanan a representative of Bumbo International. "We are getting
the word out that parents should never use the Bumbo Baby Seat on an
elevated surface, but the product can be used safely on the floor with a
parent or guardian nearby."
Bumbo International, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission, temporarily removed the Bumbo Baby Seat from store shelves
earlier this week to update the warnings, instructions and packaging.
Consumers who own a Bumbo Baby Seat can download updated instructions and
warning labels or order them online at www.bumbosafety.com, or via phone at
877-WE-BUMBO.
First introduced in 2003, the Bumbo Baby Seat has been enjoyed by more than
two million families around the world. When used on a flat ground-level
surface with a
parent or guardian nearby, the Bumbo Seat provides a safe, comfortable
environment, enabling babies to sit up and interact with their
surroundings in ways they never could before.
