    Made Apr 15, 2017, sent to the company Apr 24, 2017, published by CPSC May 15, 2017

    The product, in the report: Bjorn Baby Carrier Original

    According to the reporting party and the subject’s family, the subject was out with his mother, sister and a family friend on 4/10/2017, for a mid-morning walk. The subject and his twin sister were in a double bassinet stroller, initially. During the walk, the subject became fussy and the subject’s mother placed the subject into a Baby Bjorn carrier, to breast feed. The subject’s mother had on a long sleeve, cotton breast feeding shirt and the subject was wrapped in a thin cotton blanket. The carrier was such that the subject was placed in a chest to chest position with the mother, with his head in a neutral position facing to one side. The subject was reported to have fallen asleep at some point after the feeding and the walk continued for approximately 15-20 minutes, when all then returned to the subject’s home. Upon arrival at their home, the subject’s mother checked on the subject while removing him from the carrier and found him unresponsive, with blood coming from his mouth and nose.
