The CBS Evening News (8/15, story 7, 0:25, Schieffer) reported, "There is a major recall of baby seats tonight. The company Bumbo is recalling four million of the seats. There is a danger that children can wiggle out and fall; 130 falls have actually been reported since 2003. Thirty-five resulted in skull fractures. The recalled seats will be fitted with new restraining belts."

        The AP (8/16) reports, "About 4 million Bumbo Baby Seats are being recalled after nearly two dozen reports of infant skull fractures." According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, babies "can wiggle out of the floor seats." Since one-million of the company's molded foam seats were recalled in 2007, CPSC and "Bumbo International of South Africa have learned of at least 50 incidents in which babies fell from Bumbo seats while they were being used on raised surfaces." In addition, CPSC says "another 34 babies fell from the seats while they were being used on the floor or at an unknown elevation. In all, there were 21 reports of skull fractures to infants." Meanwhile, the company says it is "adding a restraint belt to enhance the safety of children using the Bumbo seat."
