Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling about 97,000 Eddie Bauer Rocking Wood Bassinets because a bottom locking mechanism can fail if a spring is missing. This defect can cause the bassinet to tip to one side, leading to infants rolling against the side of the bassinet. There have been 17 reports of incidents, including two cases where infants experienced breathing difficulties after rolling into the side of the bassinet. These units were sold at Target, Toys R Us, and Sears nationwide from December 2007 through January 2011 for approximately $150.
The rocking mechanism can fail to lock securely, causing the bassinet to tilt unexpectedly. This poses a suffocation risk as infants can roll into the fabric side and become trapped, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bassinets and contact Dorel to obtain a free repair kit, which includes a spring and new instructions for assembly.
