Kolcraft is urging parents to immediately stop using the inclined sleeper accessory sold with its Cuddle ‘n Care 2-in-1 bassinet and Preferred Position bassinet.
Infant fatalities have been linked to other manufacturers’ inclined sleep products. Because of the incline and padding, babies’ weak necks can fall forward, cutting off air supply or the baby can roll over and suffocate in the soft materials, according to child safety advocates.
The model number of the Cuddle ‘n Care starts with KB063. The model number of the Kolcraft Preferred Position bassinet starts with KB061.
Kolcraft is re-announcing this recall. The affected products were sold from 2011 through 2017. Parents can visit https://www.kolcraft.com for information pertaining to a refund or voucher.
