Eddie Bauer Play Yards with Rocking Bassinets Recalled by Dorel Juvenile Group Due to Suffocation Hazard

Is my product affected?

Eddie Bauer Soothe & Sway Play Yards

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

What happened

Dorel Juvenile Group has recalled Eddie Bauer Soothe & Sway portable play yards because the rocking bassinet attachment can tilt when it should remain level, even when secured by straps in non-rocking mode, or can stay tilted in rocking mode without returning to a level position. This defect can cause an infant to roll to a corner or side of the bassinet, where the child risks becoming wedged or pressed against the surface, creating a suffocation or positional asphyxiation hazard.

The recall affects model 05046 (all units) and model 05044 units manufactured before December 1, 2008. Model numbers and manufacture dates are printed on a sticker on one of the support legs underneath the play yard. Affected consumers should immediately stop using the bassinet attachment and contact Dorel Juvenile Group to receive a $40 voucher toward the purchase of a new Dorel product. The play yard itself can continue to be used.
