The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in
cooperation with the Dorel Juvenile Group Inc., of Columbus, Ind.
voluntarily recalling Eddie Bauer Play Yards with Rocking Bassinets due
to suffocation hazard. Consumers should stop using recalled products
immediately. Name of Product: Eddie Bauer Soothe & Sway Play Yards, Made in China Units: About 71,000 in the United States and about 5,600 in Canada Hazard: The play yard’s rocking bassinet attachment can tilt when secured by straps (non-rocking mode) which can cause it to stay tilted without returning to a level sleeping surface while in the rocking mode. The tilted sleeping surface can cause an infant to roll to the corner or side of bassinet and become wedged in the corner or pressed against the side or bottom of the bassinet. This presents a risk of suffocation or positional asphyxiation. Incidents/Injuries: The firm and CPSC have received 10 reports of infants rolling to one side, including 6 that had their faces pressed against the side or the bottom of the bassinet. One child reportedly was turning purple and was out of breath when discovered. No injuries have been reported. Description: This recall involves Eddie Bauer Soothe & Sway portable play yards. The convertible play yard has a bassinet and changing station feature. A mobile with three teddy bears was also sold with the play yard. Models included in the recall are 05046 (all units) and 05044 units manufactured before December 1, 2008. Different models were sold in Canada. Model numbers and manufacture dates are printed on a sticker on one of the support legs underneath the play yard. Manufacture dates are printed in the YY/MM/DD format. Sold at: AAFES, Target, Sears, and Burlington Coat Factory stores nationwide and Internet retailers from January 2008 through May 2009 Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the bassinet attachment of the play yard and contact Dorel Juvenile Group for a $40 voucher toward the purchase of a new Dorel product. Consumers can continue using the play yard. Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Dorel Juvenile Group toll-free at (888) 233-4903 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.djgusa.com To view the entire CPSC recall, go to: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09219.html
