Originally posted in July 2010 as a joint recall between Health Canada and the CPSC.

Full Product Description

This recall involves various crib tents and play yard tents made by Tots in Mind, Inc. Consumers can identify their tent by the 5 centimetres x 4 centimetres (2 inches x 1½ inches) label with Tots In Mind logo located on the non-mesh portion near the top of the tent.

The dome-shaped white-coloured mesh tent is designed to fit over playards or cribs as small as about 71 centimeters (28 inches) by about 102 centimeters (40 inches) or as large as about 79 centimeters (31 inches) by about 112 centimeters (44 inches). There are 12 plastic clips to secure the base of the tent to the top rail of the playard through button holes along the bottom of the tent.
