Reported risk: This recall involves Chimparoo brand Trek baby carriers that allow the user to carry a baby tummy to tummy, on the hip or on the back. The 100% twill fabric carriers were sold in 18 solid, striped and pattern color combinations. The carriers attach to the wearer's body with adjustable straps made of polypropylene webbing and plastic buckles. "Chimparoo" is printed on the upper right hand corner of the carrier. "Trek" is embroidered on the belt. Hazards: The carriers' side strap can loosen unexpectedly from the buckle, posing a fall hazard to the child in the carrier.
