Fisher-Price, Kmart Recalling Children’s Items

Fisher-Price is recalling two products because of possible injuries to infants, and Kmart Corp. announced a recall of children’s lamps because of a potential fire hazard. Fisher-Price, a unit of El Segundo-based Mattel Inc., is recalling its 3-in-1 Cradle Swings that have detachable infant carriers because the handle may unexpectedly release and dump the child on the ground, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said. There have been 28 reports of the handles unexpectedly giving way, causing injuries from cuts and bruises to a skull fracture. Fisher-Price also is recalling its Bounce ‘n Play Activity Domes, model number 79534, because they may pose a suffocation hazard to infants. No injuries have been reported. The Activity Domes were sold nationwide from December 1998 through March. Free repair kits on both Fisher-Price recalls can be obtained by calling (800) 505-0600 Discount retailer Kmart recalled about 280,000 Little Ones wooden accent lamps after receiving eight reports that they short-circuited and caught fire, causing a total of $18,000 worth of damage. No injuries or deaths were reported. Consumers should immediately return the lamps to Kmart for a full refund or contact the retailer at (800) 63K-MART.
