We’ve been notified that Maya Wrap slings in lot numbers 557 and below are OK to sell. Consequently, we have opened up our web ordering page to allow sales for those Maya Lightly Padded slings that we have in stock with lot numbers that are not affected by the investigation.
Unfortunately, this is a small percentage […]
