Craigslist scam!

Thanks to Craigslist, we have met new customers and first time visitors to our store!  For anyone who comes across the posting put on craigslist today saying babycheeks is "closing our doors at the end of the month and will be giving away all our fixtures today and tomorrow from 12-5".... please please disregard this!  It is completely untrue and we seem to have found ourselves the butt of someones jokes this week as our phone number has been listed on craigslist a number of times this week as the contact for some pretty funny items. 
Has anyone else had to deal with a scam like this?  We have contacted Craigslist to let them know, but not sure what they will be able to help.  So we thought we at least need to clarify with all our customers in case you come across the posting.  Now... hope you all have a great weekend!

babycheeks book drive - collecting books now!

Have your children tired of their old books? Are those books taking up room in the closet? Let babycheeks help you clean out your kid's book collection and pick-up some new reading. On Saturday July 17^th and Sunday July 18^th , join us for a weekend-long book drive, where donated books can be swapped for new ones.

Our kids grow out of books and so often, they remain untouched and take up space. A book drive is a perfect way to trade-in the books your children no longer read for new ones. It’s also a sustainable way to recycle the books so that another child can enjoy them as much as your own have.

babycheeks will be collecting gently used kids books at their store in Elgin Corners starting Saturday May 29^th until the day of the event where you will be able to pick up some new reading material for your children by donation, with all proceeds going towards Free the Children—the world’s largest network of children helping children through education.

For more information about Free the Children visit their website at www.freethechildren.com

IMPORANT: Drop-Side Crib Recalls

There has been a recent rise in consumer product recalls for drop-side cribs this past week, with the following North American brands being recalled by Health Canada:

• Drop-side Cribs by Million Dollar Baby

• Drop-side Cribs by Simmons Juvenile Products

• "Scandi" model Drop-side Cribs made by LaJobi Inc. 

• Drop-Side Crib by Dorel Distribution Canada  

• Drop-side Cribs by Delta Enterprise Corp.  

For the most part, the cribs' drop-side hardware can break or become damaged, causing the drop-side to detach. If the drop-side detaches, it could create a space between the side of the crib and the mattress. Infants and toddlers could roll into this space and may become entrapped, which could lead to suffocation or strangulation, or they could fall out of the cribs.

For more details and information on these recalls visit Health Canada's Consumer Product Safety website.

We love you, Dad. Happy Father's Day!

IKEA recalls all Roller Blinds without an attached tension device--Roman Blinds and Roll-Up Blinds due to risk of strangulation.

If you have an IKEA Roller Blind without an attached tension device, Roman Blind or Roll-Up Blind, please bring it back to your local IKEA for a full refund. IKEA has decided to make a proactive, precautionary recall; the action is performed in collaboration with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. If installed incorrectly cords and looped bead chains could present a strangulation hazard to young children. To reduce the risk of entanglement or strangulation always keep cords and looped bead chains out of reach of young children. Install safety devices and reduce the access to cords and bead chains. Move cots and furniture that children could climb on away from blinds and shades. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
