Osprey is recalling approximately 82,000 Poco, Poco Plus, and Poco Premium child backpack carriers because a child sitting in the carrier can slip through the leg openings. This defect poses a serious fall hazard, with Osprey receiving four reports of children falling through the leg openings, including one skull fracture and one instance of head scratches. These nylon carriers were manufactured between January 2012 and December 2014 and sold in "Romper Red," "Koala Gray," and "Bouncing Blue" at REI, Amazon.com, and specialty outdoor stores. Consumers should immediately stop using the carriers and contact Osprey for a free Seat Pad Insert to be used with the existing safety straps.
