CPSC, Century Announced Recall to Repair Fold-N-GoŽ Care Centers
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Century Products Co., of Macedonia, Ohio, voluntarily
recalled about 50,000 Fold 'N Go Care Centers for repair. The care center's
bassinet could have loose fabric, which can create a pocket near the floorboard
in which an infant can become entrapped and suffocate.
Century has received four reports of babies getting their head caught
between the bassinet's mesh side and floorboard, including one child who
reportedly required overnight hospitalization.
The repair is no longer available. Consumers should destroy the product.
Only Fold 'N Go Care Centers with model numbers 10-750 or 10-760
manufactured before September 1998 are being recalled. These portable,
wheeled care centers include a playard, a changing table with a side storage
compartment and a bassinet. Model 10-760 comes with a canopy. The model
number and manufacture date are found on the tube supporting the underside
of the playard. "Century" is imprinted on the side of the playard.
Juvenile product stores nationwide sold these care centers from March 1998
through August 1998 for about $100 to $130.
Consumers should stop using the bassinet immediately and destroy the product. Consumers can also write to Century Products Company, Consumer Relations
Department, 9600 Valley View Road, Macedonia, OH 44056, or call the company's customer service number at 800-345-4109 for more information.
Only Fold 'N Go Care Centers that include a bassinet are part of this
recall. If your bassinet has a yellow inspection sticker on the bottom tubing or
was manufactured in September 1998 or later, it is a more recent, redesigned
model and is not part of the recall.
 Consumers can also view a video clip about this recall (Transcript). It is about 11 megabytes long and the download time depends upon the speed of your Internet connection.
