Date
June 2009

Product Name
Safety 1st and Eddie Bauer Play Yards

Full Product Description
This recall involves the bassinet attachment of the following three different models of Safety 1st and Eddie Bauer Play Yards.

• Safety 1st Play Safe Play Yard: model numbers beginning with 05536C. This portable playpen was sold with a bassinet attachment, change station, storage area, and mobile.


• Safety 1st Dream Magic or Deluxe Play Yard: model numbers beginning with 05049C. This playpen was sold with a bassinet attachment, change station, storage area, and mobile.


• Eddie Bauer Complete Care Play Yard: model numbers beginning with 05088C. This portable playpen was sold with a bassinet attachment, change station, and mobile.

The model number can be found on a sewn-on warning label, located at the bottom of the play yard.

Hazard Identified
Testing by Health Canada has revealed that a child's weight presses the center of the bassinet downwards, increasing the angled surfaces at either end of the product. If a child is left unattended in the bassinet portion of the play yard, small movements of the child could cause the child to slide, posing a potential risk of injury or death due to suffocation.

If recommendations in Health Canada's Consumer Information - Safe Sleep Practices for Infants are not followed, then this condition can become more hazardous.

Health Canada has received one report of a death which occurred when the child was placed in the bassinet attachment of the play yard with blankets and a soft stuffed toy. The play yard includes instructions which state that the child is not to be placed in the bassinet with blankets.

Dorel Distribution Canada has received 4 complaints of the bassinet in these play yards not laying flat, with no reported injuries relating to this condition.

Corrective Action
Consumers should immediately stop using the bassinet portion of the recalled play yards and contact Dorel Distribution Canada to receive a free kit to address the issue.

Consumers should not return the product to retail stores.

For more information, consumers may contact Dorel Distribution Canada by visiting the firm's website or by phoning toll-free at 1-888-234-2455 between 8AM and 4:30PM ET Monday through Friday.

Number Sold
Over 37 000 of the recalled products were sold at Zellers, Walmart, Toys 'R' Us, and Costco stores across Canada.

Question:
How do I get my refund from the recalled baby floats?

Answer (from the company):

Dear Aqua Leisure Customer,
Thank you for your interest in participating in the recall. The first thing to do is confirm that you have a boat that is part of the recall. You can do this by visiting our website at www.aqualeisure.com or www.cpsc.gov. Please review the press release and confirm that your boat is one of the affected styles.
If you determine that your boat is one of the affected styles, please refer to the inflation valve on the boat. A date between 08/02 and 07/08 is molded on the valves of recalled products. Products NOT INCLUDED in the recall can be identified with the lettering NP or 6P molded on the valve.
If your boat has been recalled, you will need to cut out the material that contains the inflation valve AND the writing next to the valve (this material shows the Aqua-Leisure trademark and the copyright date). This serves two purposes: (1) it will destroy the product so it cannot be used, and (2) it will allow Aqua-Leisure and CPSC to track important information about the recall.
Please send the above mentioned items to...
Aqua Leisure Industries, PO Box 239, Avon, MA 02322, ATTN: Product Recall.
PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR SALES RECEIPT FOR A FULL REFUND. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SALES RECEIPT, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE AVERAGE RETAIL PRICE OF $10 UNLESS YOU HAVE THE SA-3252 SING-ALONG WHICH IS $13. YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR REFUND WITHIN FOUR TO SIX WEEKS OF US RECEIVING THE ABOVE MENTIONED ITEMS.
Canadian customers will receive a check in Canadian currency for the equivalent of 10 U.S. dollars or 13 U.S. dollars for the SA-3252.
If you have any questions, please call our Customer Care department at 1-866-807-3998, Monday through Friday, 8.30 AM to 5.30 PM, Eastern Standard Time.

Sincerely,
Aqua Leisure Customer Care
