Low-Down Bumbo: The Consumer Product Safety Commission is issuing a recall of Bumbo infant baby seats because of reports of falls and serious head injuries. Bumbos are never to be used on elevated surfaces, as babies can tumble out of them. The CPSC has received reports of three head fractures after babies were left in Bumbos placed on tables.

Consumers can contact Bumbo International at (877) 932-8626 or www.bumbosafety.com to obtain a safety sticker that says “WARNING – Prevent Falls; Never use on any elevated surface.” The Bumbo web site notes that the Bumbo chair is “perfectly safe when used properly.”

Baby Bargains Book Blog notes that some of the confusion may have been generated by Bumbo International itself, as its web site used to feature pictures of babies in Bumbos on counter tops and tables.
