My DD used her Bumbo a lot when she was smaller, however, there's a global recall of the seats due to reports of 21 skull fractures in infants who managed to wiggle free and/or fall from the seats.

Check out the official recall website for further information.

If you did not buy it from the US you need to go to bumbo.com to order the repair kit.

From what I know you don't need to send back the bumbo chair. They send you parts to put in the harness. Of course I knew about this in Canada but how it works here I do not know. Also I used it with both my boys and had the tray with it so they wouldn't wiggle free. I'm not trying to make excuses as it should have had straps same with that bebe pod. But in many cases these bumbo chairs were set on tables or on chairs and the children were left along. Also the bumbo chair doesn't work after a certain age. Many use it as a booster seat for young ones when they are learning to eat but that is also the time that they should be placed in a proper booster or high chair.
