Bassinet recall

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of baby bassinets amid concerns that they could collapse if not assembled properly.

The voluntary recall involves about 500,000 bassinets made by Burlington Basket Co. before June of last year.

The Burlington Basket Co., based in Iowa, is not offering to take back the bassinets, but is giving consumers free repair kits to show exactly how to install the support rails. 

CPSC and the company have received 10 reports of incidents in which the bassinets collapsed when the folding legs were not locked properly. Two infants received minor injuries, including a bruise to the head.

Consumers can contact the company at 800-553-2300 or go to http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml11/11129.html?tab=recalls for more information.
