▲CPSC is aware of a death of a 5-month-old boy in December 2011 in New York, New York, who was found with his face pressed against the side wall of the tent. The cause of death is undetermined. In addition, CPSC is aware of 6 reports of children who became entrapped or experienced physical distress in the product. Two of the 6 reports included babies who were found crying underneath of the mattress that had not been inserted into the zippered pocket on the bottom of the tent.

Health Canada has received 3 reports of infants rolling over and getting their faces trapped between the mattress and the side of the product.

The recalled products were sold at various retailers from January 2005 to present in Canada and the United States.
