Approximately 46,000 Kolcraft Tender Vibes and Light Vibes bassinets are being recalled because the latches connecting the bassinet to the metal frame can appear locked when they are actually loose. This defect can cause the bassinet to detach and fall, which has already resulted in seven reports of detachments, including one infant who suffered a bruised cheek. These bassinets were sold nationwide at mass market and independent stores between July 2008 and May 2012 for about $50 to $100. Consumers should immediately stop using these bassinets and contact Kolcraft for a free repair kit.
The latches that secure the bassinet base to the metal frame can fail to lock properly even when they appear secure. This allows the bassinet to detach and fall to the floor with an infant inside, posing a serious risk of injury.
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.
