On April 22, 2008, the CPSC issued a recall (read the official recall here) on the Beco Butterfly I model.  Unfortunately, moms still ask me about this recall and are still worried about their buckles :(  ANY Beco carrier being sold through a retailer RIGHT NOW has the upgraded safety buckles and you don’t need to worry about buying a carrier that was involved with the recall.  BUT, if you are buying a used Beco Butterfly I, you will need to ask the seller to make sure that it was either retrofitted last summer (sent back to Beco and had the buckles replaced) or made originally with the safety buckles since any Butterfly I manufactured after the recall were made automatically with the safety buckles.  And if you have any ?s, feel free to ask us!

This is the buckle from the original Beco Butterfly:

And here is the retrofitted buckle which is standard now on all Beco carriers produced:
