Guest Ron Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product.

Name of Product: Kolcraft Tender Vibes & Light Vibes bassinets Units: About 46,000 Distributor/Manufacturer/Importer: Kolcraft Enterprises Inc., of Chicago, Ill. 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.

One infant received a bruised cheek when the bassinet detached from the metal frame and landed sideways on the floor with the infant inside.

A label with the model/item number of the bassinet is located on one of the legs of the metal frame. The recalled bassinets were manufactured from July 2008 through May 2010. The words “Kolcraft Tender Vibes” or “Kolcraft Light Vibes” is located on the removable music box which is attached to the side of the bassinet. Sold at: Mass market and independent juvenile specialty stores nationwide and online from July 2008 through May 2012 for between about $50 and $100. Manufactured in: China 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.

Guest MCL04 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 In my day everything was made here. What happen's if someone gets injured here. Are you going to sue some company in China that you cannot even pronounce? Thank you for telling me the real state of our country. I am coming to this web site more often.
