Aqua-Leisure has recalled 14 different styles of inflatable floats that they’ve made. While you may not have to, it is voluntary and the CPSC is asking that you return them to the company. At this time there is nothing stating if you will be sent a new one or reimbursed.

Here’s what the CPSC site says:

Hazard: The leg straps in the seat of the float can tear, causing children to unexpectedly fall into or under the water, posing a risk of drowning.

Incidents/Injuries: There have been 31 reports of float seats tearing, causing children to fall into or under the water. No injuries have been reported.

Head over to the CPSC for pictures of which ones are being recalled.

9600 Cribs have been now recalled from Toys R Us and Babies R Us, so if you have bought a Jardine Crib you may want to check out the warning below. Or you can just call 800-646-4106.

Hazard: The wooden crib slats can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers.

There are actually 7 models being recalled:

0102B00 drop-side natural olympia single
0102E00 drop-side dark pine olympia single
0302P00 black olympia lifetime

There’s been another toy recall and this one is for Infantino so if you have any of the following toys you may want to look more into them: Infantino Lil’ Chef Set, Infantino Activity Stacker and the Infantino Tag Along Chime Trio.

The recall is due to the blue metallic fabric detaching, this of course poses a choking hazard for your infant. Currently there have been no serious issues reported. They sold around 172,000 of these toys in the US and 12,000 in Canada at places like Wal-Mart, Target and Babies R Us. If you bought one contact Infantino at 888 808 3111 or visit www.infantino.com

A huge recall on infant garments, this time it is the taggie garments. These little sleepers might look cute but they have buttons that can come detached posing a choking hazard.

The July 2008 recall involved two Taggies™ Sleep ‘n Play style infant garments: the Butterfly Applique’ and the Fun Dog Print. Subsequent to the recall, two additional Taggies Sleep ‘n Play styles, manufactured before July 1, 2008, were identified as also having snap issues. The recall has now been expanded to involve the Dinosaur Applique’ and the Pink Toss Print styles. The infant garments are one piece footed coveralls with snaps down the front. These garments were sold in sizes 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and 6-9 months. RN #27829 is printed on the care label sewn into the garment. Style numbers are printed on the hangtag of the garments. The complete list of style numbers are listed in the chart below:

I’m not sure how many of you have bought these but they are little pacifiers that are flashing. These may look cute or help you find the baby in the dark (that is just a joke) but they are being recalled. These were NOT meant for babies. Apparently the pacifier can fall apart which poses as a choking hazard.

Hazard: The flashing pacifiers do not comply with federal safety standards for pacifiers. Although the pacifiers are marketed to older children and adults, they could be given to babies and cause serious injury or death. The pieces of the pacifier can separate, posing a choking hazard. The necklaces pose a strangulation hazard.

If you do have these, which were bought in Nov 07-Nov 08, you can get more info from Top Goods Trading just call 213 680 0388. So far, there has been no injuries.

Back in June there was a big recall on 320,000 Jardine Cribs, then near the end of the year there was yet another recall on the Jardine. Why the recalls? The wooden crib slats were a bit flimsy and would break, making a gap that a baby could get stuck between. Total, at least back then was 42 incidents, 4 of which were babies trapped in the space. Later in the year the second recall would be after 19 more incidents.  The cribs could be bought at Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Geoffrey Stores and KidsWorld for around $150-$300.

The recall has grown to 376,450 total. If you find you have one of these recalled Jardine cribs stop using it immediately and take it back for a full credit toward a new crib. 

Here’s some contact info for you:

Jardine at (800) 646-4106 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday and between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET Saturday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.jardinecribrecall.com

JCPenny has called an issued a voluntary recall on the "Arizona Newborn and Infant Denim Pants." If you are a parent of a baby that has these pants you may want to check them.

Inside, on the tag, if it was made in Bangladesh you can take them to JCPenney and get a full refund on them. However, if these were made in China they are fine.

The reason: the metal snap can detach which poses a chocking hazard.

There were 24,000 pants made, they were sold in sizes 0-3 months, 3-6 and 6-9 months.  If you have questions call 1 888 333 6063.
