Published May 9, 2012
Summary
CPSC records recall 12173, published May 9, 2012. Recalling firm: Kolcraft Enterprises Inc., of Chicago, Ill.; Reported units: About 46,000.
What's the hazard
The latches that attach the bassinet base onto the metal frame can appear to be locked in place but still remain unlocked. This allows the bassinet to become detached from the metal frame, causing the bassinet to fall and the infant to be injured.

In the meantime, parents are urged to find an alternate, safe sleeping environment for the child, such as a crib that meets current safety standards or play yard depending on the child's age.
