The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Burlington Basket Co. have issued a recall for 500,000 of the brand’s bassinets after 10 of them collapsed, reports Consumer Ally on WalletPop.com.
According to Mitch Lipka at Consumer Ally, “the CPSC said if the cross-bracing rails aren’t locked into position, the bassinets can collapse.” So far there have been two injuries reported, including a bruise to the head and a bruised shoulder.
If you have purchased a Burlington Basket bassinet that made before June 2010 that has folding legs attached to the basket with white plastic pins, you should stop use immediately.
