Dorel Juvenile Group Recalls Play Yards with Bassinets

Posted on January 8, 2010 in Consumer Goods, Parenting, Recalls

Dorel Juvenile Group and the Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling portable play yards sold with bassinet attachments. The products could pose a choking hazard to young children.

CPSC said in a news release that the one piece metal bars supporting the floorboard of the bassinet attachment could come out of the fabric sleeves and create an uneven sleeping surface. This could result in positional asphyxiation or suffocation. Safety First Disney Care Center and Eddie Bauer Complete Care Yard are included in the recall.

The play yards were distributed at Babie “R” Us, Kmart, Sears, Target and Walmart from January 2007 through October 2009 for between $100 and $130. The CPSC is warning consumers to immediately stop using the bassinet attachment in the play yard and contact Dorel Juvenile Group for a free repair kit including replacement bassinet fabric, bassinet bars and installment instructions. No injuries have been reported.
