I hate all of these recalls... I went to buy a Christmas toy for DD today at Toys R Us. When they rang it up, it came back with some kind of code that meant recall. Thank God the girl at the register knew what she was doing and gave the toy to a manager.

I just returned mine the other day since the straps were going to take so long to get.
But, of course I just got an email saying that the straps were shipped. if any one needs them, let me know and I will send them to you.....
