Baby strangled in wrap?

My coworker just told me he saw a news story this past weekend about a baby who was strangled in a wrap style carrier. He was looking for the story but couldn't find it. Has anyone heard aboiut this? If so, could you post a link to the article? Thanks

 ETA He finally found the link if you wanted to see it.

    I don't have a wrap carrier but I would feel safe to use one. I check on H constantly when she's in the ergo, I can't imagine the baby strapped to your chest and not looking down and check on him/her.

    I have heard of stories of them being smothered in Moby style carriers because their face was facing in on the mom's chest, but I haven't heard of anything lately.

    And, FTR, I have a Moby, so I'm not anti-Moby.

    That is sad :(

    I have a Moby and love it but I follow the instruction on how they should be positioned and I am constantly checking on him (especially when he was really little)

    My thoughts exactly. If it's wrapped correctly it forms a v neck. That's why I'm curious to see what exactly happened.

    Wow. I hadn't heard and I can't find it either (although Google is a bit too helpful when you start typing, "Baby died..." *shiver*). I've used 3 different types of wraps and can't figure out how this could happen without gross neglect.

    I guess these types of horror stories confuse me. How can your baby be on your chest and you not notice something is wrong??

     No clue! My co worker is still trying to find it but no such luck so far. I told him to call the news channel that he saw it on but he said no lol.

    I saw a warning posted on a shelf in the baby section in Walmart about them being a strangling hazzard. I didn't know it actually happend to a baby.

    The article says it was a sling, which makes a bit more sense that it can go unnoticed? The mom was busy and all of that. However, I couldn't imagine with a wrap how it could happen.Hmm That poor family. :(
