Recall Notice

Date: February 17, 2011

Product Name: Summer Infant Video Baby Monitors with Electrical Cords

Full Product Description

The recall involves all models of Summer Infant video baby monitors with electrical cords. The monitor comes in various colours and the recall also includes a corded camera.

Hazard Identified

The cords present a potential strangulation hazard to infants and toddlers if placed too close to a crib. Due to the serious strangulation risk, parents and caregivers should never place these monitors or other corded cameras within one meter (three feet) of a crib.

Health Canada would like to remind parents to place cribs away from windows, curtains, blind cords, lamps, electrical plugs and extension cords. The baby's head could become caught in the cords, resulting in strangulation.

Summer Infant has received two reports of strangulation deaths and one near strangulation incident occurring in the United States in the past year.

Health Canada has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these products.

Corrective Action

Consumers should immediately check the location of the video monitors, including cameras mounted on the wall, and all electric cords to make sure the cords are secured at least one meter (three feet) away from their child and then contact Summer Infant to receive a new permanent electric cord warning label about the strangulation risk and revised instructions about how to safely mount camera and keep cords out of child's reach.
The purpose of the recall is to provide new warning labels to be affixed to the product and safe installation instructions for all models of Summer Infant video baby monitors with electrical cords.
