Ergobaby Counterfeit Warning
1) Over the past few months, an increasing numbers of UNSAFE
counterfeit Ergobaby Carriers are being offered for sale on websites
posing as Ergobaby, namely eBay, Fishpond, Gumtree, Trade Me and
other auction sites.
2) Sites like Amazon, eBay and Gumtree are not authorised stockists of NEW Ergobaby products.
Any products listed on these sites are deemed to be second-hand and, as such, have the potential
to be non-genuine. Consumers are advised to be wary of purchasing any such second-hand
Ergobaby products, and do so at their own risk.
3) Counterfeit Ergo baby carriers are UNSAFE for your baby since they bypass important safety
testing regulations and processes and therefore put your baby at risk.
4) Product failure rates are extremely high in counterfeit Ergobaby Carriers as they are:
•
•
•
•
•
made with inferior material and parts – particularly the buckles
not product tested for safety standards
not covered by any Product Insurance
not covered by Product Warranty
not likely to comply with US lead-free criteria
Be wary of websites that contain Ergobaby anywhere in the domain
name. There are NO Authorised Retailers in Australia or New
Zealand that include “ERGO” or any variation/repetition of this
word in the web address. If you are looking outside of our region
we strongly suggest that you confirm that the site is an Authorised
Retailer on ergobaby.com
Keep your baby safe by purchasing Ergobaby Carriers from authorised retailers found HERE. This
