Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Kolcraft Enterprises Inc. and Playskool are offering a $120 Child Saver Reward for the return of each Playskool Travel-Lite portable crib. These cribs were recalled in 1993, yet two children died in the cribs this summer, a New Jersey infant and a Chicago toddler.
The cribs, which were manufactured by Kolcraft from 1990 through 1992, have rotating top rail hinges. These top rails can collapse, entrapping children and suffocating them. In all, six children have died in Playskool Travel-Lite portable cribs.
Despite a nationwide effort over the past five years to alert the public about this recall, some of the 11,000 cribs originally sold could still be in use. To get these products back, Kolcraft and Playskool are doubling the reward for each returned crib from $60 to $120. In addition to the $120 reward, Kolcraft and Playskool, a subsidiary of Hasbro, are taking further steps to get the word out, including mailings to daycare centers, notices in new products and posting of details regarding the reward on Hasbro's web site at www.hasbro.com under Consumer Affairs Safety Message.
The Playskool Travel-Lite portable cribs have two nylon mesh sides and two blue solid plastic ends. "Playskool" appears in white letters on a red background on each end. The portable crib folds in the center for storage and handling.
Consumers who own these cribs should stop using them immediately. Anyone who sees one in a day care center, at a baby-sitters, in the home of a friend or relative, or at a garage sale or secondhand store, should inform the caregiver or seller about the recall and reward. For instructions on how to return the crib and receive a $120 Child Saver Reward, call Kolcraft at (800) 453-7673.
