Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Baby Trend Inc. is recalling all portable crib/playpens sold under the brand names "Home and Roam" and "Baby Express." The products can collapse if not completely locked into place, and the crib/playpen can appear properly set up even when the top rails are not fully locked. If a baby's neck becomes caught by an unlocked top rail, strangulation can occur. Two deaths and two additional incidents where babies were found not breathing and revived have been associated with these products. Approximately 100,000 crib/playpens in three sizes were sold nationwide between 1992 and 1994 by retailers including Price Costco and Kmart, priced between $60 and $130.
An affected consumer should call Baby Trend toll-free at (800) 328-7363 to have the top rail locks replaced free of charge, with Baby Trend paying postage. The new locks are designed to prevent the collapsing risk. The recall applies to all Home and Roam and Baby Express crib/playpens regardless of purchase date or warning labels.
