CPSC, Basic Comfort Inc. Announce Recall of Infant Seat Pads
WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Basic Comfort Inc., of Denver, Colo., is voluntarily
recalling about 16,000 infant seat pads. The seat pad has two shoulder
straps that create a v-shaped opening around the head and neck,
presenting a strangulation hazard to young children.
Basic Comfort received one report of an 8-month old girl who was
caught by the neck in the shoulder straps of the seat pad after falling
sideways off a chair. The child was removed from the seat pad without
injury.
The seat pad was sold under The Baby Sitter brand name. The infant
seat pad is designed to restrain a child on a chair in a sitting
position. It has a padded back and seat. The seat pad is attached to a
chair by Velcro straps attached to the sides of the pad. The front of
the seat pad has two straps attached near the top of the pad that go
over a child's shoulders and connect to a single crotch strap. The seat
pad is a denim blue color with white restraint straps.
Department and juvenile products stores nationwide including JC
Penney and One Step Ahead sold these infant seat pads from October 1998
through May 2001 for about $11.
Consumers should stop using the infant pads immediately and
contact Basic Comfort at (800) 456-8687 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT to
receive a replacement. Consumers also can visit the firm's web site at
www.basiccomfort.com.
