Our lead counsel, Michael Ehline, himself had a close call with his child. He relates this occurred while using a sling carrier device with his small son. And this was before there were any major recalls. This demonstrates that consumers, too, should also exercise good judgment and mitigate potential losses.
So this can be achieved by being vigilant and alert when using any new device. Most of all, utmost care should be used with any toy, or other product, in conjunction with children. In Ehline’s case, he is a trained products defect attorney.
How Did Ehline Save His Child's Life?
Lucky for his family, Michael has more knowledge, training, and skill when it comes to an understanding of the many ways a person or their kin can rapidly become a victim. He immediately stopped using the sling carrier device.

What About the Baby Sling Suffocation Risk?
These products have become a severe suffocation risk to little ones.
Also:
- Children are at risk for banging their heads and bodies against door jambs, and hard object as you navigate in and out of confined areas.
- Suffocation risk exists primarily because the child gets forced to lie in unnatural positions where breathing becomes difficult. Hence, he or she can quickly get folded or bent forward. So you can see how this can snuff out the baby's ability to breathe easily, right?

First, What About Risk Avoidance?

- Also, parents must keep in mind that other safer products exist. But are they really safe? After all, some of these may not on the official government recall list.
However, they could be just as, or even more dangerous. Beware that you are the arbiter of your people. Also, government regulations are a floor and not a ceiling.

- Immediately stop using it.
