2010-03-26来源:和谐英语

A baby sling has been recalled across the UK and Europe following claims linking it to three infant deaths in the United States.

有报道称,美国有三名婴儿的死亡是与一种婴儿背巾有关,随后,该品牌婴儿背巾在英国及欧洲范围内被召回。

US company Infantino recalled the SlingRider, saying customers should stop using the product immediately and return it for a free replacement. An Infantino spokesman said 10,000 of the recalled slings had been sold to the UK market, although an unknown number could still be in stores.

美国的Infantino公司召回了这种名为“SlingRider”的婴儿背巾,还通知消费者应立即停止使用该产品,将其返厂并免费换去其它背巾。Infantino的一位发言人说,从英国市场召回的背巾已有一万条,不过可能还有部分背巾作为库存并未售出,数量尚不明确。

Infantino said that it was working with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Trading Standards in the UK in an ongoing investigation of the baby carriers.

Infantino公司称,他们正与美国消费者产品安全委员会和英国贸易标准委员会合作,对该婴儿背巾进行调查研究。

It said in a statement: "Our top priority is the safety of infants whose parents and caregivers use our products, and we highly value the trust that mothers and families place in the company's products every day. Infantino is announcing a voluntary replacement programme for the Infantino SlingRider infant baby carriers to address concerns raised by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. This action is being taken in the US and Canada and also the UK and other European countries."

该公司在一份声明中称,“我们最先要做的,就是要保证那些在用我们产品的婴儿的安全。那些每天在使用我们产品的妈妈们,十分感谢你们对我们的产品的信任。作为对美国消费者产品安全委员会对该产品提出的安全疑虑的回应,Infantino公司宣布要开展一项主动更换产品计划。在美国,加拿大,英国,以及其他欧洲国家,我们正在行动。”

婴儿专家推荐使用婴儿背巾来让爱闹的宝宝们安静下来,那些选择母乳喂养的妈妈们还能在背巾中给宝宝们喂奶。

Baby experts and breast-feeding advocates insist that not all slings are dangerous. They say carriers that keep a newborn baby solidly against the mother's body in an upright position are safe.

婴儿专家和那些母乳喂养的倡导者们认为并不是所有的背巾都存在安全隐患。他们说,那些能够让宝宝紧贴妈妈身体,并让宝宝保持竖直方向的婴儿背巾是安全的。
