My world is heartbroken... My precious Bumbo chair has been recalled... Don't worry anyone, they aren't taking it away from me, they are just sending me a new warning label to put on the bottom of it.
Apparently, 28 babies have fallen out of their Bumbo chairs receiving serious head trauma. These babies were placed in their Bumbo on an elevated surface like a table or countertop, despite the fact the warning on the box says to use on ground level only.
Now, I will admit, if you look through this blog, you will find photographic proof that my parents did not obey this warning label. There are lots of times I was sitting in my Bumbo on the counter while Mom cooked or on the Dining Room Table so Dad could feed me. But they are always right beside me.
And as the recall warns, I did fall out of my Bumbo once. I arched my back and pushed with my legs and out I went. Luckily I was on the soft carpeted floor, and I didn't even cry, I just crawled away to my toys... Mom was right beside and shocked that I could weasel myself out of the chair!

Hi Daphne,
Will we see a 9 month photo in the Bumbo seat? I hope so.
I love you and hope you have a safe trip to Grammy and Gramps' this weekend.
Grandma
