Full Summary

This supplemental filing by complainant The Ergo Baby Carrier, Inc. amends its June 18, 2026 Section 337 complaint on adjustable child carriers, correcting respondent addresses and names and adding clarifying paragraphs and exhibits at OUII's request. The supplement is meant to let the Commission institute the requested investigation on time. It strengthens the allegations on respondent identity and importation, particularly the Bugaboo entities, and on the domestic industry. The underlying complaint seeks relief against imported adjustable child carriers, but the relief sought is not detailed in this letter. Complainant Ergobaby submits the supplement after a June 25, 2026 call with OUII, which asked for supplements and clarifications to the complaint filed June 18, 2026. Proposed respondents named include Mabe LLC, Quanzhou Baby Nice, Xiamen Funwhale Technology, Xiamen New Baby Products, Portier USA LLC, Ava + Oliver LLC, Bugaboo International B.V., Bugaboo North America and Artipoppe; their addresses and names are corrected. The Asserted Patents are the '275 Patent, which recites adjustments to carrier depth and width, and the '470 Patent, which recites adjustments to carrier length; the Omni Family is stated to embody them, with Omni Classic as representative. Added paragraphs state that Ergobaby's domestic investment in plant and equipment, employment of labor and capital, and engineering and R&D pertaining to Omni Family carriers are significant or substantial. New Exhibits 41 and 42 hold CBP rulings classifying baby carriers under HTSUS 6307.90 and carriages and strollers under 8715; footnote 3 argues Bugaboo importation records showing carriages reflect a clerical error.
