Babywearing tips from CPSC - Wilmington, North Carolina Personal ...
Last year, baby slings and wraps were the center of controversy after the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued recalls for millions of the sling-styled carriers. As part of the product recall, parents were warned that improper use of these soft baby carriers could result in suffocation. The CPSC, with the mission of protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death from thousands of types of consumer products, has monitored these parenting products for the past 20 years and identified serious risk associated with their use. Consistent with its mission, the federal agency has issued guidelines to help parents make smart and safe choices about baby slings and wraps.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - A woman was convicted Friday of vehicular homicide and other charges in the death of a tow truck driver who was dragged more than a mile by her vehicle.
Detra Farries, 33, showed little emotion as she learned the jury convicted her of all 11 counts she was facing, including manslaughter and leaving the scene of a deadly accident.
Prosecutors said that Farries drove away as Allen Lew Rose, 35, was preparing to tow her illegally parked SUV on Feb. 23, 2011, in Colorado Springs. He died after getting caught in a cable he had attached to her vehicle.
Farries' attorneys had argued that she didn't realize Rose was being dragged for more than a mile. Her side-view mirrors were broken.
Prosecutors countered with witnesses who testified they thought it looked like she was trying to shake Rose from her vehicle.
Farries is scheduled to be sentenced April 20.
Leaving the scene of a deadly accident is punishable by up to 24 years in prison, and Farries could be sentenced to up to 12 years in prison for manslaughter and vehicular homicide. Those were the three most serious charges Farries faced.
