CPSC, Dorel Juvenile Group Announce Recall of Cosco Playpens

Reported: October 10, 2001 Initiated: October 10, 2001 #02008

Product Description

The recalled playpens were sold under the "Zip n Go," "Okie Dokie," and "Carters" brand names and were manufactured by Cosco. Only model numbers 05-361, 05-362, 05-363, and 05-364 are included in this recall. The model numbers are located on a label on the bottom of the playpen, on the metal tubular frame near one of the corners. The label reads in part, "MANUFACTURED IN CHINA FOR COSCO INC." The 28-inch-by-40-inch playpens have four mesh sides on a folding metal frame. The side rails have the name "Zip n Go, " "Okie Dokie," or "Carters" written on them. The padded floorboard forms a carrying case for the playpen.

Reason for Recall

The plastic tabs on the playpen that lock the rails into the corners can break or loosen over time, allowing the rails to turn inward, collapse and entrap an infant.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using these playpens immediately and call Dorel Juvenile Group to receive a refund or replacement product.
