No, they haven't been recalled, but they do have features similar to the infantino which was recalled in the US. They have a very deep pouch, and very limited adjustability (both because of the buckle shoulder and the padded rails) which can make newborn positioning difficult at worst, and at best, can be uncomfortable for some wearers (especially petite wearers who are often unable to tighten it sufficiently). With a too deep pouch it is more likely that a newborn will slump in a head to chest position which can impede breathing. If they are used very carefully and with full awareness of correct positioning there is no reason why they can't be used safely, but I would not recommend them personally. The mini-monkey is similar, as is the baby rock comfy carry. A good ring sling is much more comfortable for both baby and wearer, and safer too.
