What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (infant suffocation) where injury has not yet been reported for this specific item, but fatalities have been reported with similar products from other manufacturers, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling the inclined sleeper accessory included with the Kolcraft Cuddle 'n Care 2-in-1 Bassinet & Incline Sleeper and the Kolcraft Preferred Position 2-in-1 Bassinet & Incline Sleeper. The recall involves approximately 51,000 units of the accessory, which was sold with bassinets manufactured in China. The inclined sleeper is the only portion of the product being recalled; the bassinet itself can continue to be used without the accessory.

The hazard is that infant fatalities have been reported with other manufacturers' inclined sleep products, after infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side, or under other circumstances. No incidents or injuries have been reported specifically for this Kolcraft product. The products were sold at juvenile product stores and mass merchandisers nationwide from March 2011 through December 2017 for about $140.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled inclined sleeper accessory and contact Kolcraft for a $35 voucher to be used on www.Kolcraft.com or a $20 refund. The voucher is valid until February 20, 2022. Kolcraft is contacting registered owners and known purchasers directly via postcard. Consumers can also contact Kolcraft at 800-453-7673, email [email protected], or visit www.kolcraft.com for more information.
