The recall of one million baby slings after the deaths of three babies is a strong reminder that just because a baby product appears in mainstream shops doesn't mean it has been properly tested.
Around 10,000 of the slings - used to carry babies and infants close to the parent's body - have been sold in the UK.
Parents using the the SlingRider and the Wendy Bellissimo, both made by US company Infantino, have been told to stop using the slings immediately because they pose a suffocation risk to infants. This comes after the slings were found to be the cause of death of three infants in America.
The slings have been a growing trend among celebrity mums and one of the latest must have accessories for fashionable young mothers.
