Plain-English summary
Burlington Basket Company, of Burlington, Iowa, is recalling about 500,000 bassinets manufactured before June 2010. The recall involves units with folding legs attached to the basket with white plastic pins. Units with non-folding legs attached with metal pins are not included in this recall.
The bassinets were sold at Walmart and other mass merchandisers, department stores, juvenile product stores, and online retailers including Amazon.com from January 2003 through August 2010 for about $50. CPSC and Burlington Basket Company have received 10 reports of incidents where the bassinets collapsed when the folding legs were not locked into place. Two infants received minor injuries as a result, including a bruise to the head and a bruised shoulder.
If the cross-bracing rails are not fully locked into position, the bassinets can collapse, causing the infant to fall to the floor or fall within the bassinet and suffer injuries. Consumers should immediately stop using the bassinets and check the cross-bracing support rails to ensure they are in the locked position. To properly lock the support rails, the end tabs must be fully inserted into the holes on the leg assembly and twisted one quarter turn into the locked position. A video showing proper assembly is available online. This recall does not involve returning the bassinet.
