The sling saga continues...

So today I got a visit from CPSC to sign my story about what happened. Apparently they reimburse you for the product so no money is lost :) They guy was very nice and appreciative of the contact (rather then us just returning the sling). So I think this is the end of our involvement however he did say that he will be talking to the stores to be sure that they are in compliance. It was great to hear what had been happening and what was going to happen in the future. I feel like I accomplised something by letting them know even though it was Jason that did most of the work ;) So that ends the saga I'll let you know my decision about getting a wrap...

The sling saga continues...

So tonight after the meeting for the AIDS Red Ribbon Ride J was on the phone with CPCS. They had sent someone to the TJ Max in this area with out telling him which one had sold the sling. So apparently he went shopping but didn't find anything but after the first store he had to say who he was and what he was doing. which probably did not help. In the mean time we can't return it because i guess it is proof that they sold it to us and the guy is worried that they will not let me keep the receipt. Jason is pushing this along and taking it as a personal insult/injury so something should become of this other than me just loosing my $20 - maybe I can contest the charge. Oh well...

Problem Solved

The sling that I found and purchased is one that was recalled. So Jason has contacted the SBC and is actually pretty pissed about the whole thing. He said that I am not supposed to return the sling to the store. When asked how I would get my money back he said not to worry about it - I think I will end up taking it back. It was cheap but not that cheap. He mentioned liking the moby wraps but I'm still not sold on them they are expensive and I would worry about not wrapping it correctly. I've seen instructions on making your own (it's just a long section of cloth anyway) but don't want to hassle. Besides what type of material would work best?

Maybe I will get one we will see. I really think that a sling will end up as a necessity as I chase Evelyn around. The carrier we have for her I love but can't be used for 4 weeks at least.
