The latest recall, this time of the Bumbo Baby Seat was a little surprising. After all, it wasn't recalled because it was covered in lead paint or because it was defective, but rather because "if the seat is placed on a table, countertop, chair, or other elevated surface, young children can arch their backs, flip out of the Bumbo seat, and fall onto the floor, posing a risk of serious head injuries."

It would seem kind of obvious that you shouldn't leave your child unattended in a Bumbo, and that you shouldn't place it on a table, desk, or other elevated surface, especially with the current Bumbo warning label. That warning says: "Never use on a raised surface. Never use as a car seat or bath seat. Designed for floor level use only. Never leave your baby unattended as the seat is not designed to be totally restrictive and may not prevent release of your baby in the event of vigorous movement."

The Bumbo recall will get you a new label that adds "Prevent Falls; Never use on any elevated surface," and newer instructions on how to use your Bumbo safely. You can even print out your own new instructions and labels on the bumbo safety website.
