Eddie Bauer Play Yards with Rocking Bassinets
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The play yard's rocking bassinet attachment can tilt even when secured by straps in the non-rocking mode or can stay tilted without returning to a level sleeping surface while in the rocking mode, causing an infant to roll to the corner or side of the bassinet. The infant can then become wedged in the corner or pressed against the side or bottom of the bassinet, posing a risk of suffocation or positional asphyxiation.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Suffocation risk.
