The warning issued early this month about baby slings is now upgraded to an outright recall.
More than one-million baby slings made by Infantino are being called back after claims linking them to three infant deaths.
The recall covers 15-thousand Infantino ``SlingRider'' and ``Wendy Bellissimo'' slings sold in Canada.
The U-S Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning that babies can suffocate in the soft fabric slings.
Parents are being told to stop using the slings for babies under four months immediately.

N.B. Premier Shawn Graham calls off $3.2-billion NB Power sale to Hydro-Quebec
According to The Canadian Press Premier Shawn Graham says he is no longer proceeding with the controversial $3.2-billion sale of NB Power assets to Hydro-Quebec.
Graham says changes sought by Quebec in recent weeks made the deal unacceptable for New Brunswick.
He delivered the unexpected announcement in the legislature today.
The initial $4.75-billion sale of New Brunswick's 90-year-old public utility announced last year included transmission and distribution assets.
At the time, Graham touted the deal as one that would reduce the province's staggering debt and lower power rates in his province.
But the deal was later watered down to a $3.2-billion deal for 10 power plants with transmission and distribution off the table.

NB Power participating in wind integration project
About $3.6 million will be invested by NB Power in a smart electric grid pilot project using wind generation.
The initiative, known as the The Customer Load Control for Wind Integration Project, is one of 19 selected for funding in January from the federal Clean Energy Fund.
The project will use innovative technology to provide fast-acting ancillary services for wind integration by controlling commercial and residential loads without affecting the customer. Communication devices will be installed on thermal equipment and appliances in customers' homes and businesses to allow for non-intrusive control of electricity consumption to match variable supply from wind turbines.
"NB Power's smart grid pilot project is a first of its kind, and I am proud of this initiative," said Energy Minister Jack Keir. "Our government has identified the smart grid as a terrific opportunity for the New Brunswick information and communication technologies industry.
The project is estimated to cost $32 million and expected to be completed by 2014.
