Another Recall - Kolcraft Play Yards

Thursday July 9, 2009

Kolcraft Play Yard Recall - Photo courtesy of the CPSCThere is yet another recall this week -- this time about 1 million play yards are being recalled because the Consumer Product Safety Commission says that their 'side rail can fail to latch properly and when a child pushes against the rail it can unlatch unexpectedly, posing a fall hazard to children.'

These play yards include a number of models made by Kolcraft, Carter's, Sesame Street, Jeep, Contours, Care Bear and Eric Carle Play Yards and were sold from January 2000 to January 2009 in stores nationwide. There have been at least 347 reports of play yards collapsing and 21 injuries to young children.

If you have a recalled play yard, you should stop using it until you can get a free repair kit from Kolcraft.
