Hey there, time traveller!

TORONTO — Almost 15,000 baby slings are being recalled in Canada and more than one million in the United States after the carrying devices were linked to the deaths of three infants.
Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have issued a joint recall of Infantino SlingRider and Wendy Bellissimo slings.
Parents are being urged to immediately stop using the products for babies under four months of age. The agencies are concerned the fabric of the sling and an adult’s body can press against the infant’s nose and mouth, posing a risk of suffocation.
Infantino is offering a free replacement baby carrier, activity gym or shopping cart cover to any consumer affected by the recall, company president Jack Vresics said in a statement Wednesday. “Our top priority is the safety of infants whose parents and caregivers use our products.”
Consumers can call Infantino toll-free at 1-866-860-1361 to receive a free replacement product.
