Slings and Arrows: The Next Controversy

Following up on yesterday’s trend story–and, I like to think, Dadwagon’s post–the Times’s Lisa Belkin notes that if you didn’t find enough “controversy” there, the baby-sling follies have taken a new turn. Now it’s a safety issue! Warning labels! Possible recalls afoot!

I can’t wait for the (inevitable) next turn of the argument: Are these products locally made? Cruelty-free? ARE THEY ORGANIC? WE MUST KNOW!
