Is my Bambora sling carrier in this CPSC warning?

CPSC is warning consumers to stop using Bambora sling carriers immediately. This is CPSC warning 27-079, announced November 12, 2026 — a warning, not a recall. The carriers come in several prints and include an adjustable black strap. “Bambora” and “Bambora Sling Carrier” are printed on a label stitched on the end of the strap. Official CPSC photos show Blue Sailboat and Floral prints; those are examples, not a complete print list. CPSC did not publish a unit count, sales-date range, or model number. The products were sold at Bamboraco.com for between $59 and $118.

The Bambora Sling Carriers violate the mandatory safety standard for sling carriers because the restraint strap can fail causing it to come apart, posing a deadly fall hazard to babies. Official incidents/injuries: None reported. “None reported” is not a finding that the product is safe to keep using. This is not medical advice.

This is not a recall. CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to Bambora, and Bambora has not responded to the Notice of Violation. CPSC urges consumers to stop using the sling carriers immediately, cut the fabric in half to make the product unusable, and then dispose of the product. Do not sell or give it away. The official notice does not offer a refund.
