The recall includes Optave Action Baby Carriers.

The carriers were sold in various colors and patterns: blue, brown, green, "so square", "the larrisa" and "spring breeze."

The recalled carriers were sold at specialty retail stores nationwide and Internet sites from May 2008 through June 2008 for between $80 and $90.

The baby carrier's chest strap can detach from the shoulder straps, posing a fall hazard to the baby.

Optave Inc. has received two reports of the chest strap detaching from the shoulder straps on the baby carrier. No injuries have been reported.

The voluntarily recalled baby products consist of 250 units.

Stop using the carrier in the positions that require use of the chest strap and contact Optave to receive free replacement straps.
