The bunny ears on these bunny sippy cups can poke a child in the eye while they're trying to take a drink, and that danger of eye injury is the reason the cups are now under recall. Six incidents of the bunny's ear poking a child were reported. Three of those incidents resulted in cuts or bruises around the eyes.
The plastic sippy cups were sold at Target stores from February to April of this year. They came in pink and blue, and have the numbers "TARGET 200020683" or "TARGET 200020884" printed on the bottom.
If you have one of these sippy cups, you can return it to any Target store for a refund. Call 800-440-0680 for more information.

This week, I'd like to introduce you to one of the coolest strollers ever made. I had a chance to review the 4Moms Origami stroller, which has its own power generators in the wheels to run a sweet digital display and the automatic open and close system. This stroller also has innovative safety features. Before you take it on a test drive, you can also check out these stroller safety tips.
On the food front, I put together some tips for choosing a bottle warmer. These tips come to you directly from my kitchen, where I slaved away over many a cold bottle before finally buying a gadget that did the job in 90 seconds.
Looking for a bottle to warm in your new warmer? I've added a new review of Dr. Brown's Natural Flow bottles, which worked really well for my son. You can also take a look at my review of the Medela Calma - a unique specialty bottle for babies who are primarily breastfed.

More than 16,000 Rockland Furniture drop-side cribs are recalled because the drop sides can detach, malfunction or otherwise fail. This can allow a dangerous gap to form between the drop side and the mattress where a child can become entrapped. This poses a suffocation and strangulation hazard. A child can also fall out the crib. Five instances of the drop side malfunctioning or detaching were reported, including one incident in which a child became entrapped and had minor scratches and bruises.
These recalled Rockland Furniture cribs were sold at J.C. Penney stores and jcpenney.com from 2005 to 2008. The following styles are included in the recall: 343-8124 Nightingale Spindle Drop-Side Crib; 343-8280 Cottage Standard Drop-Side Crib Version 1; 343-8271 Cottage Standard Drop-Side Crib Version 2; 343-9105 Drop-Side Crib and Changer; 343-8191 Renew Standard Drop-Side Crib; and 343-8192 Renew Convertible Drop-Side Crib.
Call Nan Far Woodworking at 877-967-5770 to receive a repair kit that will immobilize the drop side. Find an alternate, safe sleep space for baby until the repair kit is installed.
