Angelcare is recalling approximately 600,000 Movement and Sound Baby Monitors after reports of two infant deaths. The monitors include a sensor pad with an 11-foot cord that is placed under the crib mattress; if a child pulls this cord into the crib, it can wrap around their neck and cause strangulation. The affected units include model numbers AC1100, AC201, AC300, AC401, AC601, and 49255 that were sold without rigid cord covers between 1999 and 2013. Angelcare is providing a free repair kit that includes rigid cord covers to secure the sensor pad cables.
The 11-foot cord connected to the sensor pad can be pulled into the crib by an infant, creating a loop that can wrap around the child's neck. This has resulted in two reported fatalities of infants aged 8 and 13 months, as well as two additional reports of entanglement.
Consumers should immediately make sure cords are placed out of reach of the child and contact Angelcare toll-free at (855)355-2643 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.angelcarebaby.com to order the free repair kit.
