What happened

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled multiple brands of mesh playpens that fold for storage, including models from Bilt-Rite, Gerry, Graco, Kolcraft, Playskool, Pride-Trimble, Strolee, and Evenflo's Houdini line. These playpens have rivet covers that can crack, break, or come off, exposing rivets that present a strangulation hazard to children.

Evenflo Houdini playpens manufactured between 1994 and 1996 are included in this recall, even if they currently have plastic covers over the rivets. The record does not specify what remedy consumers should pursue.

Hazard

Strangulation

Details from the source

The Bilt-Rite, Gerry, Graco, Kolcraft, Playskool, Pride-Trimble and Strolee playpens are drop-sided, mesh playpens that fold in half for storage. Evenflo's Houdini playpen is a portable, mesh playpen that folds up for storage and travel. All Houdinis manufactured between 1994 and 1996 are subject to this recall even if they have plastic covers over the rivets. The rivet covers on these playpens must be replaced because they are defective and can crack, break or come off exposing the rivet and presenting a risk of strangulation.
