Toy Maker Recalls 200,000 Baby Playpens
Dorel Juvenile Group Inc. announced a voluntary recall last week of over 200,000 baby playpens due to the threat of “suffocation or positional asphyxiation.” The company said that the floors of the Safety 1st Disney Care Center Play Yards and Eddie Bauer Complete Care Play Yards could become uneven when jostled, posing unnecessary risks to children. The toys were sold from January 2007 to October 2009 at Babies “R” Us, Kmart, Sears, Target and Walmart. No deaths have been reported involving the playpens. Staff Report, Chicago Tribune 12/30/2009
