Two Strangulation Deaths Prompt Summer Infant to Recall Video Baby Monitors with Cords; Firm to Provide New On-Product Label & Instructions
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The cords can present a strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers if placed too close to a crib. Because of this serious strangulation risk, parents and caregivers should never place these and other corded cameras within three feet of a crib.
What to do
CPSC and Summer Infant urge parents to immediately check the location of the video monitors, including cameras mounted on the wall, and all electric cords to make sure the cords are out of arm's reach of their child and contact Summer Infant to receive a new permanent electric cord warning label about the strangulation risk and revised instructions about how to safely mount the camera, keeping cords out of the child's reach.
