Name of Product: Tots in Mind Crib Tents
The Hazard: CPSC is warning parents and caregivers who own these products that infants and toddlers are at risk of serious injury or death due to hazards presented by these products. The crib tents and play yard tents present an entrapment and strangulation hazard if the dome portion inverts inside the crib or play yard, or if the product becomes partially detached from the crib or play yard. Tots in Mind recalled the play yard tents in July 2010 and offered a repair kit that is no longer available. The company is no longer in business and has stopped all sales. CPSC staff urges parents and caregivers to stop using these crib tents and play yard tents immediately. Do not attempt to repair these products.

Consumers can identify their tent by the 2”x 1½” label with Tots In Mind logo located on the non-mesh portion near the top of the tent, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission release on the recall.
