There is PARENTAL responsibility and common sense missing in this equation. Some parents have found this seat beneficial, used under the right circumstances. Others have had bad experiences. It's up to a parent to decide whether or not something is right for their child. Unless there is something blatantly wrong with a product, for example, a missing screw in a high chair (out of view of the purchaser) that causes it to collapse, injuring their child... I'll give you that one. There's no missing screw to be had in a Bumbo. It's all there, right in front of you! People are allergic to peanuts. Should Planters be forced out of business? People get hurt falling off ladders. Should one be forced, by law, to surround the area they are working in with soft padding? People make choices every day. All I'm asking is that people take responsibility for them. I’ll say it again. There is PARENTAL responsibility and common sense missing in this equation.

Also under and not under adult supervision. The fact that the company would not change there product to make it not so easy to tip over speaks real volume about how they feel about customer service and there duty to put out a safe product. THey just slapped a warning label to prevent any of you from filing anymore lawsuits. It is a fact that this product is product is unsafe and you all will see when it is taken off of the shelves in your local B.R.U. and target retailers. not sure if any of you on here really did research anything but… kids recieved injuries from bumbos both on and off of the floor.

I find it very, very sad that another company would step on the toes of a company that is already in trouble because of a PARENTAL misstep. So much for friendly competition. The strap on the Prince Lionheart product that is intended to keep babies safe... well, I'm pretty sure someone will find a way for it to cause harm as well; the baby will get caught up in it, causing the seat to fall on top of them when the entire seat tumbles off the table, someone will get their fingers pinched in the strap mechanism... I think you get my point. Apparently, you didn’t read my stance on this issue.
