The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Dorel Juvenile Group have issued a voluntary recall of more than 213,000 play yards because the construction may fail and result in a suffocation hazard. The one piece metal bars supporting the floorboard of the bassinet can come out of the fabric sleeves and create an uneven sleeping surface, posing a risk of suffocation or asphyxiation.
The products, ‘Safety 1st Disney Care Center Play Yard’ and the ’Eddie Bauer Complete Care Play Yard’ are portable and were sold with a bassinet attachment and a built-in changing station. Models included in this recall are 05025, 05026, 05037, 05088 and 05350. The model number is printed on a sticker on one of the support legs underneath the play yard. “Safety 1st” or “Eddie Bauer” are printed near the bottom of the fabric sides of the play yards. They were sold at Babies ‘R’ Us, Kmart, Sears, Target and Walmart from January 2007 through October 2009 for about $130.
So far no incidents have been reported but the problem is severe enough to warrant a recall. Consumers who purchased the product should stop using the bassinet attachment immediately and contact Dorel for a free repair kit and replacement instructions.
