Recall Overview

| Product | Kolcraft Enterprises Tender Vibes & Light Vibes travel, deluxe rocking bassinets |
| Units | About 46,000 |
| Hazards | The latches that attach the bassinet base onto the metal frame can appear to be locked in place but still remain unlocked. This allows the bassinet to become detached from the metal frame, causing the bassinet to fall and the infant to be injured. |
| Remedies | 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. |
