What's being recalled
Kenta and Kenta Plus child carriers
Units: About 300 in the United States and 100 in Canada
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.

The problem, in CPSC's words
The side strap's seam can unravel and cause the strap to separate, posing a fall hazard to the child in the carrier.
