Liberty Mountain is voluntarily recalling about 300 Kenta and Kenta Plus child carriers it distributed in the United States and Canada because a side strap seam can unravel and pose a fall hazard to the child in the carrier. The carriers were made in Germany by Vaude Sport GmbH & Company KG of Germany.



Vaude has received two reports of the side strap separating. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves backpack-style child carriers sold under the Kenta and Kenta Plus model name. “VAUDE” is printed on the back and between the shoulder straps of the carrier. “Kenta” or “Kenta Plus” is printed on the lower back or hip belt of the carrier. The carriers were sold in black, red and brown and were designed for children up to 31 pounds.



The packs were sold by Outdoor camping and climbing stores nationwide from January 2010 through May 2012 for about $150 for the Kenta and $170 for the Kenta Plus models.
