Bassinets Recalled by Kolcraft Due to Fall Hazard

Is my product affected?

Kolcraft Tender Vibes & Light Vibes bassinets

  • Brand Kolcraft Enterprises Inc., of Chicago, Ill.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Kolcraft is recalling certain Tender Vibes and Light Vibes bassinets because the latches securing the bassinet base to the metal frame can appear locked while actually remaining unlocked. This defect allows the bassinet to detach from the frame and fall, potentially injuring an infant. The recalled models are Tender Vibes with model numbers KB021-ARC, KB022-VER, KB039-CMR1 and Light Vibes with model number KB043-BNT1, manufactured between July 2008 and May 2010. The model number can be found on a label attached to one of the metal frame's legs.

Consumers with recalled bassinets should stop using them immediately and contact Kolcraft by phone or online to receive a repair kit with instructions for securing the latches. In the meantime, affected families should use an alternate safe sleeping environment for their child, such as a crib meeting current safety standards or an age-appropriate play yard.

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.

What should I do?

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.
