It hasn’t been a good month for Dorel. Following a recall two weeks ago of 447,000 infant car seat/carriers, the company is now recalling 213,000 play yards with bassinets because they pose a suffocation hazard.
 
The recalled play yards are labeled Safety 1st Disney Care Center and Eddie Bauer Complete Care. The one piece metal bars supporting the floorboard of the bassinet attachment can come out of the fabric sleeves and create an uneven sleeping surface, posing a risk of suffocation or positional asphyxiation. No injuries have been reported.
 
The portable play yards were sold with a bassinet attachment and a built-in changing station. Models included in this recall are 05025, 05026, 05037, 05088, and 05350. The model number is printed on a sticker on one of the support legs underneath the play yard. “Safety 1st” or “Eddie Bauer” are printed near the bottom of the fabric sides of the play yards.
 
Babies “R” Us, Kmart, Sears, Target and Walmart sold the play yards from January 2007 through October 2009 for between $100 and $130.
 
Consumers should immediately stop using the bassinet attachment to the play yard and contact Dorel Juvenile Group for a free repair kit including replacement bassinet fabric, bassinet bars and installation instructions.
