Recent Death Prompts Search for Recalled Play Yards/Cribs
Description
CPSC has previously announced the recall of several other portable cribs/play yards with rotating top rails that can collapse and entrap a child in the folded top rails. CPSC is aware of 14 deaths to children when the top rails of play yards collapsed. A new safety standard requires that the top rails of play yards automatically lock into place when the unit is fully set up. In addition to the Baby Trend "Home and Roam" and "Baby Express" models, CPSC obtained voluntary recalls of the following play yards with top rails that people had to turn into place when setting up the unit: Evenflo "Happy Camper, Happy Cabana, and Kiddie Camper;" Century Models 10-710 and 10-810; and Kolcraft "Playskool Travel-Lite Model." CPSC also issued a safety warning about All Our Kids Models 742 and 762 play yards imported by a firm that is out of business.Date Recalled Product and Firm Number/Dates Sold Remedy 35606 Evenflo "Happy Camper," "Happy Cabana," and "Kiddie Camper" Portable Play Yards 1.2 million units sold between 1990 and 1997 Free repair Call firm 800-447-9178 35390 Century "Fold-N-Go Models 10-710 and 10-810" Portable Play Yards 212,000 units sold between 1993 and 1996 Free repair Call Graco, which now owns the "Century" brand name, at 800-345-4109 35390 Draco "All Our Kids" (models 742 and 762) Portable Cribs/Play Yards 13,000 units sold between 1992 and 1995 Stop use and destroy (Firm out of business) 34700 Baby Trend "Home and Roam" and "Baby Express," Portable Cribs/Play Pens 100,000 units sold between 1992 and 1994 Free, New Play Yard Call firm 800-328-7363 34017 Kolcraft "Playskool Travel-Lite" Portable Cribs 11,600 units sold between 1990 and 1992 $120 reward Call firm 800-453-7673
