Baby furniture sold on Amazon recalled over life-threatening risk

Story by Saman Shafiq, USA TODAY •

Some play yards for infants sold on Amazon are being recalled for being an entrapment hazard and for posing a risk of serious injury or deadly suffocation.

The play yards sold on Amazon for between $100 and $110 in March were recalled on Nov. 20, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Product features include "black fabric sides and mesh panels bordered in gray," with the top rails "covered with white fabric with a multi-colored print with bear faces, paws and the word 'bear'," the CPSC said. A mattress with the same bear print is also part of the product

CPSC said the "play yards violate the mandatory standard for play yards," adding "infants can become entrapped under the mattress or between the side of the play yard and the mattress, posing a risk of serious injury or deadly suffocation hazard."

While no injuries have been reported, per the advisory, the company urged consumers to stop using the China-manufactured play yards immediately and follow the instructions for disassembly and destruction.

What is the model of the impacted play yards?
The play yards, sold by Guangzhou Tinger Trading Co. Ltd., of China doing business as Anna Queen, have the model number "P700" and production date of "202503” printed on the packaging and on a removable tag included with the play yard.

What should you do if you purchased the affected products?
Those who purchased the affected play yards should immediately stop using it, disassemble it and contact Anna Queen for a full refund. The product's recall number on CPSC is 26-099.

CPSC said consumers should "disassemble the fabric cover from the play yard frame, cut up the cover and mattress pad and email a photo of the destroyed play yard to tingerservice@outlook.com for a full refund before discarding the destroyed play yard.

This is exactly what I have been telling you! Your baby won’t really be snug in his car seat with the big puff on…

As the temps drop, skip the puffy coats when harnessing your children in their car seats. Harnesses work best when snug against your child — use blankets or jackets after they’re buckled for cozy comfort and safety.

With the holidays approaching, some of us may have to think outside the box! This Grandma has her youngest daughter coming with her new baby. The son is coming with 3 toddlers, and the other daughter has twin 3-year-olds. Where will they all sleep!

Grandma had her home baby proofed for days like this, babies galore. So, she called Rick at Precious Baby Protectors at 281-438-4670 and asked if she could partition off a room with a roll gate. Great idea, and when they all go home, she can "roll" the gate up into the attached container and forget all about it! Oh, she only has a few weeks before the rest of the holidays in December. Then instead of roll out the red carpet, she will roll out the roll gate!

But she loves every minute of it, don't let her fool you!

As Houston winters are usually not super cold, this problem is not something we encounter daily. But with being so close to all the Holidays, you might be traveling to a colder area. This article is very informative, and hope it can help.

A bulky coat and a child car seat can be a dangerous combination. As a general rule, winter coats should not be worn underneath a car seat harness because that can leave the harness too loose to be effective in a crash.

“If the child’s coat is too bulky or puffy under their harness, that material can compress during a crash and create slack between the child and their harness,” says Emily A. Thomas, PhD, auto safety manager at the Consumer Reports Auto Test Center. “This extra slack could allow the child to move outside of the protection of the car seat shell. Any time a child is not properly and snugly harnessed within their car seat, there is an increased injury risk.”

The padding in your child’s winter puffer is not a benefit in a crash. In fact, the bulk of their winter coat can create too much wiggle room between their chest and the car seat’s harness. If your child’s coat interferes with your ability to get a snug harness fit against your child’s body, that coat is too big for your child to wear while riding in the car seat.

“You shouldn’t be able to pinch any harness between your fingers at your child’s shoulders,” Thomas says. “Even with my kids, I have to make sure that their clothing isn’t bunching up under the harness and creating gaps between them and
the harness straps.”

Here’s how to test whether your child’s coat is too bulky for their car seat:

Step 1: Put the coat on your child, sit them in the car seat, and fasten the harness. Tighten the harness until you can no longer pinch any of the webbing with your thumb and forefinger.

Step 2: Without loosening the harness at all, unclasp it and remove your child from the car seat. Take your child’s coat off, put your child back in the car seat, and buckle the harness straps, which should be adjusted just as they were when the child was wearing the coat.

If you can pinch the webbing between your thumb and forefinger now, the coat is too bulky to be worn under the harness, Thomas says.

What to do if the child can't wear his coat in the car seat? There are several different things you can do. You can look up your particular car seat and see if a warm cover is available. These fit the seat tight and add warmth.

Dressing in layers is another way to alleviate the coat. Keeping different weights of blankets, from thin to heavy can add the extra layer to stay warm.

And lastly, putting the coat on backwards can keep your child warm. After they are buckled into the seat, place the arms of the coat over the babies' arms.

People always ask when to baby proof their home. Everyone has different circumstances, but generally about at five months. You want to get it done before they are walking, or crawling up the stairs. It’s all about safety! So two story homes should have the gates done early on.

Precious Baby Protectors can be reached at 281-438-4670 to schedule your baby proofing. Safe babies are happy babies!

We often have frantic parents call us as their baby suddenly starts to walk, and they have stairways in their home.

RECALL ALERT
Monday, Monday, can't trust that day
Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way

Oh, Monday mornin' (Ooh), you gave me no warnin' of what was to be

Today it was announced that 76,000 dressers sold by AMAZON under the brand W LIVES fabric 12 have been recalled. These are 12 drawer dresser/chests for children that have become a risk of tip overs. The company stressed that unless these pieces are mounted to the wall, DO NOT USE! (This photo is just one of many of the recalled dressers).

Lucky for you that this problem has been noted and Precious Baby Protectors has been anchoring furniture to the wall for many years. There are many tip over videos that you can watch, and you will see the danger. After viewing, you will be astonished how easily a tragedy can happen. After viewing, or before, it is highly recommended that you call our office (281-438-4670) and schedule your baby proofing and your W LIVES fabric12 dressers (and any heavy furniture, mirrors, TVs, other dressers, etc.) be anchored to the wall.

Our business is and always will be to keep all the children safe!

Today is National Pasta Day! Isn't that a great holiday. Hope you have enjoyed that great big bowl of it. I also can see each kid with a big red sauce face. Fun day!

Here are some facts to know if you have a small kitchen fire. Just like I have a kitchen measurement chart hanging on the refrigerator, I think that I will write these following "recipes" down and post them on the refrigerator. I hope you never need it, but i an emergency, it would be very helpful.

In the event of an electrical fire, immediately cut off the power supply if safe to do so and use a fire extinguisher suitable for electrical fires.

Grease fires are caused by cooking oil that becomes too hot. It only takes minutes for an unattended pot of oil to catch fire, so never turn your back on it! If a grease fire does erupt on your stove, turn off the heat right away. Cover the flames with a metal lid or cookie sheet. Never throw water on a grease fire. If the fire looks out of hand, get your family out of the house and call emergency services.

Dump baking soda on small fires. Baking soda will put out small grease fires, but won't work as effectively on larger ones. It will take a large amount of baking soda to get the job done, so grab the whole box and dump it generously on the flames until they're extinguished. Table salt will also work.

Do not using baking powder, flour or anything other than baking soda or salt for this.

This little check plan was prepared in conjunction with FEMA

Regularly read over the outline and make a mental note that you and your family are doing all this. Maybe print it out and hang it on the refrigerator.

Also, I do find it a very calming element to openly discuss a potential fire with your children and discuss how they will get out and a meeting place. We always told the kids if they could not get to the master bedroom, do your best to get a window opened and throw a stuffed animal out to make note that a child is upstairs. Like so many other things we don't want to discuss, we don't have a crystal ball and it is better to talk about it, rather than ignore it.
