Bassinets are being recalled by Burlington Basket Company because they can collapse if the cross-bracing rails are not fully locked into position.
This recall involves all Burlington Basket bassinets manufactured before June 2010. The affected models have folding legs attached to the basket with white plastic pins – please note that units with non-folding legs attached with metal pins are NOT included in this recall.
The bassinets were sold at Walmart and other mass merchandisers, department stores and juvenile product stores nationwide and online by various Web retailers, including Amazon.com, for around $50 from January 2003 through August 2010.
If you have one of these products, please stop using it and check the cross-bracing support rails to make sure they are in the locked position. In order to properly lock the support rails into place, the end tabs must be fully inserted into the holes on the leg assembly and twisted one quarter turn into the locked position. You should contact Burlington Basket Company for a free kit with detailed instructions on proper assembly of the cross-bracing support rails and decals with assembly instructions to place on the bassinet. You do not need to return the bassinet.
If you need more information, please contact Burlington Basket Company at (800) 553-2300 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
