recall of maya wrap
"andrea" wrote in message ... Here is the link http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml01/01225.html -- Andrea mom of - Peter 7, Ellie 5, Alden 3, Joseph 21 mths & little munchie man Kamron 3 weeks! Married to David since 2000. BTW... MayaWrap was incredibly great about this recall--as soon as they realized there was a problem they did the recall voluntarily. In fact, when they were at the LLLI conference this weekend, I saw on two occasions that they actually stopped someone there at the conference who had a recalled sling to take care of the problem. And this, even though the recall was two YEARS ago. Having seen it from closer to the "inside", I can tell you that they're incredibly careful about safety and have put a huge priority on it.

recall of maya wrap
"Belphoebe" wrote in message ... "andrea" wrote in message ... Here is the link http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml01/01225.html That recall occurred in September, 2001. My understanding is that the slings were subsequently changed, so that instead of having 1/8" rings, they now have 1/4" rings, and that this fixed the problem. It was not specifically the 1/8 rings, but a particular batch of them where the weld was bad. That's why they didn't recall ALL rings, just the ones from the specific time period that covered that batch of rings. However, the 1/4 inch rings are incredibly strong, and even so, they'll be switching to all-stainless soon, as well, where even if a weld was bad, the rings just flat out wouldn't budge. The current rings are strong enough that when they weight-tested it and the sling "failed" with 900 pounds of stress (and how someone could put 900 pounds of stress on a sling in normal or even abnormal use is beyond me) it was not the rings, but the stitching that failed. Good enough for me. Jenrose |
