Liberty Mountain Recalls VAUDE Kenta Child Carriers Due to Fall Hazard

Agency Publication Date: July 31, 2012

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 300 VAUDE Kenta and Kenta Plus backpack-style child carriers have been recalled because a seam on the side strap can unravel and separate. The company has received two reports of the side strap separating, which can cause a child to fall from the carrier. These carriers were sold in black, red, and brown for children up to 31 pounds. Consumers should stop using these carriers immediately and return them to an authorized VAUDE dealer for a free replacement.

Risk

The side strap's stitching can fail and cause the strap to detach while in use, creating a risk that the child could fall out of the backpack carrier. Two incidents of strap separation have been reported, though no injuries have occurred yet.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your child carrier for the model name 'Kenta' or 'Kenta Plus' printed on the lower back or hip belt and the brand name 'VAUDE' printed on the back and between the shoulder straps.
  2. Verify if your carrier is black, red, or brown and was purchased between January 2010 and May 2012.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled Kenta or Kenta Plus child carrier to prevent a potential fall.
  4. Return the carrier to any authorized VAUDE dealer to receive a free replacement product.
  5. Contact Liberty Mountain at 800-366-2666 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or visit www.libertymountain.com or www.vaude.com to find your nearest authorized dealer.
