RECALL: Infant Travel Beds for Suffocation
PeaPod and PeaPod Plus Travel Beds are being recalled for the possibility of suffocation.
KidCo is recalling 220,000 PeaPod and PeaPod Plus Travel Beds as infants and young children can roll off the edge of the inflatable air mattress and become trapped between the mattress and fabric side of the tent, and suffocate.
"CPSC is aware of a death of a 5-month-old boy in December 2011 in New York, New York, who was found with his face pressed against the side wall of the tent. The cause of death was not determined," according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall.
The travel beds are "marketed for use by infants from birth to 3+ years, depending on the model."
