Kolcraft Tender Vibes & Light Vibes bassinets
CPSC Recall #12-173 — May 8, 2012
Product
Kolcraft Tender Vibes & Light Vibes bassinets
Description
The bassinet latches that attach the base to the frame can appear to be locked when they are unlocked. The bassinet can detach, fall and injure baby.
Hazard
The latches that attach the bassinet base onto the metal frame can appear to be locked in place but still remain unlocked. This allows the bassinet to become detached from the metal frame, causing the bassinet to fall and the infant to be injured.
Incidents / Injuries
CPSC and Kolcraft have received seven reports of latches that detached from the bassinet frame. One infant received a bruised cheek when the bassinet detached from the metal frame and landed sideways on the floor with the infant inside.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bassinets and contact the firm by phone or on-line to receive a repair kit and instructions for securing the latches to the metal frame. In the meantime, parents are urged to find an alternate, safe sleeping environment for the child, such as a crib that meets current safety standards or play yard depending on the child's age.
