Dear Friends:

Hurrah!!  Remember my post where I warned about the Trojan Horse that is the
CPSC......and here is the Academy of BF Medicine with a timely and sensible
response.

Thanks Nancy, for this post!!

"In the warning, the CPSC reported 14 deaths  associated with sling use in
the past 20 years, including 3 in 2009. The agency  provided no information
on the types or brands of sling involved, nor did they  account for the
rapid
increase in sling use among parents in the US. This stands  in contrast
with the hundreds of recalls of other juvenile products issued by  the CPSC
that specify the precise brand and model number involved in adverse
 outcomes.

"Last month, when the CPSC recalled a crib model associated  with 3 infant
deaths, they did not issue a blanket warning that cribs can be  deadly,"
Eidelman notes. "Parents deserve the same precise, accountable  information
when it comes to baby-carrying."
