Uh oh! Not great news for mamas all over the country today: two baby products have been recalled. If you’re using either A__veeno Baby Calming Comfort Lotion__ or riding around town with a Britax Chaperone car seat, then watch out.
The companies are warning against using either item. There’s nothing quite like realizing your baby may be in danger to put Florida primary worries out of your mind.
Johnson & Johnson is recalling over 2,000 tubes of the Aveeno baby lotion after U.S. regulators found excessive levels of bacteria in a product sample. They are voluntarily withdrawing the product in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. This is only the latest trouble for the consumer brand, who has recalled several products in the past two years due to quality-control lapses.
Meanwhile, Britax is recalling infact car seats with model numbers of E9L95P2, E9L95P3, E9L95P5, (sold in Canada) E9L69N9, E9L69P2, E9L69P3, and E9L69P5 (sold in the US) that were all manufactured between April 2009 and May 2010 due to a problem with the harness adjuster possibly detaching from the shell. The company has announced the safety notice on their website and asks customers to call their toll-free service line.
With the addition of these new recalls and the recent IKEA high chair recall still on our minds, I’m going back to Jessica Alba’s the Honest Company—which offers more than a dozen non-toxic, chemical-free eco-friendly baby products—for my future shopping needs.
Are you concerned when you hear of new child products being recalled? How do you keep up-to-date with the news and how do you keep your kids safe?
