CPSC Recalls Various Products Made in China

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the following recalls of products made in mainland China.

Playset Gliders. Backyard Play Systems LLC has recalled about 1,800 outdoor playset gliders because the retaining rings used to secure the gliders to the playset can become loose or detached, posing a fall hazard to children. This recall involves outdoor green plastic playset gliders designed to hang from home play equipment. They were marketed under the brand names Heartland Premium Play Systems, Yardline Play Systems and Backyard Play Systems, and sold at Backyard Buildings and More and Lowe's stores nationwide and on-line at Costco.com, BettyMills.com and BackyardBuildings.com from February 2008 through May 2009.

Children's Loungewear. Warm Biscuit Bedding Co. is recalling about 9,500 children's loungewear garments because they fail to meet federal flammability standards for children's sleepwear. This recall involves loungewear sets for children described as "Lounge-Around-the-Housewear", "Lounge-About-Housewear" or "Short sets." The garments were sold in a variety of styles, colours and printed fabrics. They were sold in sizes S (1-2 years), M (2-3 years), L (3-4 years), XL (4-5 years), 6 years, 7 years and 8 years. All of the garments have a label on the inside that says "These garments do NOT comply with the Federal Flammability Standards and therefore are not suitable for sleepwear." The recalled style numbers are 301101, 301102 and 301103 and are located on the packaging. These garments were made in the United States and mainland China and sold through Warm Biscuit Bedding catalogues and on that company's Web site from January 2000 through March 2009.

Cribs. LaJobi Inc. has announced a recall of approximately 2,900 Bonavita "Hudson" and Babi Italia "Pinehurst" drop side cribs because the lower spring pins on the footboard and headboard can pop out of the tracks located on the drop side causing the drop side to detach from the crib. This creates a hazardous gap between the drop side and the crib mattress in which infants and toddlers can become entrapped and suffocate or fall from cribs. The recalled cribs are wooden with a metal mattress support and have drop sides. They were sold in a variety of finishes, including cherry, espresso, natural and white. Hudson and Pinehurst drop side cribs with production dates from December 2006 through August 2007 are included in the recall. Pinehurst cribs were sold exclusively at Babies "R" Us, while Hudson cribs were sold at Baby Basics, Beautiful Beginnings and Buy Buy Baby stores and children's product. The cribs were sold from December 2006 through December 2007.
