The bassinet is supposed to be a safe space for your precious baby. So the last thing you need to hear is a major recall, right? Sorry, Moms, but it's happened. The Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling nearly 100,000 of its Eddie Bauer bassinets because they put infants at risk of suffocation!
The company has gotten 17-some reports of babies under 3 months old being rolled as the bassinet tips because of a spring problem. Some of the infants even suffered breathing issues from being stuck against the side of their little beds.
Think this could be your bassinet? Here's what you need to know to keep your baby safe:
1. The bassinets in the recall all have a dark brown wooden headboard and footboard and a cotton bassinet that comes in a variety of colors and patterns. The words "Eddie Bauer" are printed on a metal plate on the bassinet's footboard, and there is a dial at the base of the footboard that locks and unlocks the rocking motion of the bassinet.
2. The recalled bassinets have the following model numbers: 10632, 10639, 10832, 10835, 10839, and BT021. You'll find the number under the mattress, on the top surface of the mattress support board, or on the wash and care label.
3. The bassinets have been sold since 2007 at stores nationwide for about $150.
4. Parents should stop using the bassinet immediately and call Dorel for a repair kit at 877-416-0165, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the company website.

I had this and it woulndt stay locked and my baby would titlt and roll to the side so i wanted to toss it well my moms asshole of a husband wouldnt hear what i had to say about it being unsafe and gave it to his ex wife for her daughter to use. i just had to make a odd phone call to them and it just reminded me how pissed i was about this bassinet.
We had that same one and it would never stay in the "locked" position so my daughter would always be rolling off to one side. We stopped using it. Before I even saw the picture/name of the bassinet being recalled this one popped right into my head and for the exact reason it's being recalled.
I don't have this one on my registery but I did have one bassient that was recalled years ago that my son used.
We had this bassinet with my youngest. Never had an issue with it at all (other than our cat peeing in the basket underneath it). Loved this bassinet.
I had that same problem. I received one with my firstborn. We had two so the Eddie Bauer was used maybe twice (my other fit in my bedroom better). I pulled it back out for my 2nd son, as soon as we put him in, it would go to the side. We tied it off so it couldn't move until be could get the other one back out. Which took less than 24 hours. Threw it away the same day.
