Osprey is recalling approximately 31,000 Poco AG, Poco AG Plus, and Poco AG Premium child backpack carriers because a cut in the plastic buckle on the shoulder strap can cause it to release. This defect can lead to the child falling from the carrier. The affected carriers were sold in seaside blue, ivy green, and black between January 2016 and May 2016 at REI, other specialty outdoor retailers, and online at Amazon.com and REI.com. Consumers should immediately stop using affected carriers and contact Osprey for a free replacement or a full refund.
A cut in the plastic buckle on the harness shoulder strap can cause the strap to unexpectedly release while in use. This poses a significant fall hazard to a child seated in the carrier, though no injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately inspect the buckles on both straps of the carrier harness to determine if there is a cut in the plastic buckle on one or both straps. If the buckle is cut, consumers should immediately stop using the carrier and contact Osprey for a free replacement or full refund. Consumers also may contact Osprey and return the carrier for inspection. If the buckle is cut, consumers will receive a replacement or full refund.
