Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
The cords can present a strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers if placed too close to a crib. Because of this serious strangulation risk, parents and caregivers should never place these and other corded cameras within three feet of a crib.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Strangulation risk.
CPSC and Summer Infant urge parents to immediately check the location of the video monitors, including cameras mounted on the wall, and all electric cords to make sure the cords are out of arm's reach of their child and contact Summer Infant to receive a new permanent electric cord warning label about the strangulation risk and revised instructions about how to safely mount the camera, keeping cords out of the child's reach.
Who to contact: Summer Infant toll-free at (800) 426-8627 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's website at www.summerinfant.com/Home/Product-Recall.aspx

The baby monitors were sold in more than 40 different models, including handheld, digital, and color video monitors. All video monitors include both the camera (placed in the baby's room) and the hand held device (some models have two hand-held devices) that enable the caregiver to see and/or hear the baby from a specific distance. The brand "Summer" is found on the product.
Major retailers, mass merchandisers, and juvenile products stores nationwide for between $60 and $300.
