Plain-English summary

Dorel Juvenile Group Inc. is recalling approximately 213,000 Safety 1st Disney Care Center™ Play Yards and Eddie Bauer Complete Care Play Yards. These portable play yards were sold with a bassinet attachment and a built-in changing station. The affected models 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, and "Safety 1st" or "Eddie Bauer" are printed near the bottom of the fabric sides.

The recall is due to a suffocation hazard. The one-piece metal bars supporting the floorboard of the bassinet attachment can come out of the fabric sleeves, creating an uneven sleeping surface. This condition poses a risk of suffocation or positional asphyxiation. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The play yards were sold at Babies "R" Us, Kmart, Sears, Target, and Walmart from January 2007 through October 2009 for between $100 and $130. Consumers should immediately stop using the bassinet attachment and contact Dorel Juvenile Group for a free repair kit, which includes replacement bassinet fabric, bassinet bars, and installation instructions. For more information, consumers can call Dorel Juvenile Group toll-free at (866) 762-2166 or visit www.djgusa.com.
