Dorel Juvenile Group Eddie Bauer Rocking Wood Bassinets Due to Infant Suffocation Hazard
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The bottom locking mechanism can fail to lock properly if a spring is not installed, allowing the bassinet to tip to one side and cause infants to roll to the side of the bassinet. This poses a suffocation hazard to infants.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Suffocation risk.
