Following the fatal strangulation of a 10-month-old boy in Texas, federal safety officials on Thursday announced the recall of more than 400,000 infant play yards sold by a Chicago company.

The recall of 425,000 Kolcraft Enterprises Inc. play yards — a total of 11 different models — is the second major recall of a children’s nursery product in a week. On Sept. 21, the CPSC recalled 1 million cribs manufactured by Simplicity Inc. because of design and hardware flaws.

The Kolcraft play yards were recalled in the wake of the May 4 death of Dominick Meneses in Anthony, Texas. The boy was found hanging from a restraint strap on a changing table on the Sesame Beginnings travel play yard, according to a spokesman for the El Paso County sheriff’s office.

The strap was hanging down underneath the changing table that, when used, is fastened to the top of the play yard, according to the recall notice. The infant was unconscious and unresponsive when he was found and later died at a hospital. The sheriff’s office notified the CPSC on June 12, the spokesman said.

In addition to the strangulation hazard, one of the play yards — the Contours 3-in-1 play yard — also has a suffocation hazard. That model has a cradle attached to the top of the product and, when the cradle rocks, there is a risk that an infant can roll, get trapped against the side and be suffocated.

Consumers were instructed to “immediately stop using the changing tables and rocking cradle” and contact Kolcraft for instructions on obtaining a replacement strap that does not have a loop and a repair kit to secure the base of the cradle.

The play yards were sold around the country between January 2001 and September 2007. To receive a free replacement strap for the changing tables and a free kit to secure the rocking cradle, call Kolcraft at 888-655-8484.
