  • Prevent Child Strangulation #GoCordless with Window Coverings – the safest option

    Hi Neighbor!

    October is National Window Covering Safety Month.

    On average, about eight children under five years of age die every year from strangling in window blinds, shades, draperies and other window coverings with cords.

    There have been over 200 incidents involving children up to eight years old due to strangulation hazards on window covering cords*. Injuries varied from a scar around the neck, quadriplegia and permanent brain damage.

    CPSC encourages you to buy and install cordless window coverings, which are available at most retailers. When buying online, look for products described as cordless.

    Visit https://www.cpsc.gov/Safety-Education/Safety-Education-Centers/Window-Covering/ for more information and videos in English and Spanish.

    *From January 2009 through December 2021, according to CPSC data.

  • CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using 5in1 Rocker Bassinets Due to Suffocation, Strangulation, and Fall Hazards; Failure to Meet Federal Safety Requirements

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using 5in1 Rocker Bassinets because they pose suffocation, strangulation, and fall hazards to infants.

    The bassinets fail to meet the safety requirements of CPSC’s Infant Sleep Products Rule.  The products do not conform to the safety requirements for bassinets and lack required markings, labeling, and instructions. The bassinets and their packaging also lack a tracking label containing certain information, such as the date of manufacture, required for children’s products including durable infant or toddler products.

    The importer, Rev Grace Import Inc., of Pleasant Hill, Missouri, is not cooperating with the CPSC on the recall of this product and not offering a remedy to consumers.

    The bassinets were sold online at Walmart.com and other websites. The bassinets were sold in green and gray color schemes and advertised and listed as a 5in1 Rocker Bassinet on the product packaging. The markings “Ya.Ya.Ya, 5IN1UPC Code 09331849600139, 01 Rock Sleeper, 02 Dream Centre, 03 Cozy Seat, 04 Travel Bassinet, 05 Rock & Play, Made in China, and Age 1-36 months” also appear on the packaging.

    CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using the bassinets, disassemble them and dispose of them. Although the Infant Sleep Products Rule applies to products manufactured after June 23, 2022, CPSC urges firms to stop sale of non-compliant infant sleep products regardless of the date of manufacture. Report any incidents involving product injuries or defects to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.

    Parents and caregivers are reminded:

    • The best place for an infant to sleep is on a firm, flat surface in a crib, bassinet or play yard.
    • Use a fitted sheet only and never add blankets, pillows, padded crib bumpers, or other items to an infant’s sleeping environment.
    • Infants should always be placed to sleep on their back. Infants who fall asleep in an inclined or upright position should be moved to a safe sleep environment with a firm, flat surface such as a crib, bassinet or play yard.

  • CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using Sling Carriers Sold as Biayxms, Brottfor, Carolily Finery, Gotydi, Musuos, N\C, Topboutique, and Vera Natura Due to Infant Suffocation and Fall Hazards; Failure to Meet Federal Safety Standards

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using certain sling carriers because they do not comply with the federal safety standard for sling carriers and infants can fall out of them or suffocate. The sling carriers were sold on several websites including Walmart.com, Amazon.com and Trendyhousehold.com and could also have been sold by unidentified retailers. The sling carriers do not include any brand name labeling. Due to the absence of labeling, consumers should review their purchase history to determine if their sling carrier is one identified in the table below affected by this warning.

    CPSC testing revealed that the sling carriers fail to meet the federal safety standard for sling carriers, including requirements for structural integrity and occupant retention, posing a fall hazard to babies. Additionally, the sling carriers pose a suffocation hazard because they fail to meet the federal safety standard’s requirements for restraint systems as the waist restraint can be used without the crotch restraint. Further, there are no warnings or instructional literature providing information to caregivers about keeping the baby’s face clear to prevent suffocation or safe positioning to prevent the baby from curling into a position with their chin resting on or near their chest. Sling carriers manufactured after January 30, 2018 are subject to the mandatory federal safety standard.

    The firms have not been responsive to CPSC’s request for a recall. 

    The sling carriers are designed to be worn by an adult to carry an infant. The carriers include an adjustable shoulder strap, black plastic buckle, and black hook-and-loop waist and crotch restraint. The exterior is solid navy fabric, and the interior colors and patterns vary.  The following products, including the brands and product descriptions were found in the online listings. The brand name is not listed on the products.

    CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using the sling carriers, cut the straps to prevent future use, and dispose of the product. Report any incidents involving product defects or injuries to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.

  • CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using Xingdetui Outdoor Kopobob Kids Multi-Purpose Helmets Due to Risk of Head Injury; Failure to Meet Federal Safety Standard for Bicycle Helmets

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Kopobob kids multi-purpose helmets because they can fail to protect riders in the event of a crash, posing a risk of head injury. The helmets do not comply with the impact attenuation and certification requirements of the mandatory federal safety standard for bicycle helmets, which applies to multi-purpose helmets.

    The seller, Xingdetui Outdoor, of China, has not agreed to recall these helmets or offer a remedy to consumers. 

    The Kopobob kids multi-purpose helmets were sold online at www.amazon.com and other e-commerce sites for between $20 and $22. The helmets were sold in size Small, fitting a head circumference of about 18.9 to 21.25 inches. The helmets are red with black accents, with a black strap, a red and black buckle, and an adjustable spin dial on the back. The helmets have the word “Kopobob” on the sides in black lettering. A white warning label with “Model: WST-169” and “Made in China” is inside the helmet.

    CPSC tested the Kopobob kids multi-purpose helmets subject to this warning and determined the helmets failed to meet the federal safety standard. CPSC urges consumers to stop using, cut the straps, and dispose of these helmets immediately. Report any incidents involving product injuries or defects to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.
