Other Child Safety Recalls and Alerts of InterestDate: 6/12/2008 Reason: The powder in the kit marked “plaster of paris” is actually calcium hydroxide, which poses a risk of skin and eye irritation to children using the product. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 6/12/2008 Reason: Some of the crib mattresses can measure smaller than the 27 1/4 inch minimum width requirement for cribs, creating a gap between the mattress and crib side rails, posing an entrapment hazard to infants. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 7/3/2008 Reason: The garments have a drawstring through the hood, posing a strangulation hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines (pdf) to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on the neck and waist drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets or sweatshirts. Distribution: Nationwide Date: 6/16/2008 Reason: The inner bearing on the merry-go-round can fail, causing the seat assembly to suddenly drop to the ground.
