WASHINGTON, 16 de noviembre de 2012 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ --  La U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (Comisión de Seguridad de Productos del Consumidor de Estados Unidos, CPSC), en cooperación con KidCo Inc., de Libertyville, Illinois, anunciaron hoy el retiro voluntario del mercado de unas 220,000 carpas PeaPod y camas de viaje PeaPod Plus Travel Beds.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20030904/USCSCLOGO )

Los bebés y los niños pequeños pueden rodar y salirse del borde del colchón de aire inflable, quedar atrapados entre el colchón y los lados de tela de la carpa, y asfixiarse.

La CPSC tiene conocimiento de la muerte de un niño de 5 meses en diciembre de 2011 en Nueva York, Nueva York, que fue hallado con su cara comprimida contra la pared lateral de la carpa. La causa de muerte no fue determinada.

Además, la CPSC tiene conocimiento de seis informes y Health Canada tiene conocimiento de tres informes de niños que quedaron atrapados o que experimentaron peligro físico en el producto. Dos de los seis reportes incluyeron a bebés que fueron encontrados llorando debajo del colchón, que no se había insertado en el bolsillo con cremallera que está en el fondo de la carpa.

Las KidCo PeaPod Travel Beds y PeaPod Plus Travel Beds son carpas pequeñas para dormir, portátiles, que se venden para uso de niños pequeños desde que nacen hasta más de 3 años, dependiendo del modelo. Las carpas tienen un lado con cremallera para meter y sacar al niño, y tienen un colchón de aire inflable que encaja en una bolsa con cremallera debajo del piso de la carpa. Las carpas se doblan en una forma redonda compacta y vienen con una bolsa de tela para guardarlas y transportarlas.

Los siguientes modelos y correspondientes colores de la tela están incluidos en este retiro:

P100

Verde azuloso (Teal)

P101

Rojo (Red)

P102

Lima (Lime)

P103

Índigo claro (Periwinkle)

P104

Océano (Ocean)

P201

Princesa/Rojo (Princess/Red)

P202

Camuflaje (Camouflage)

P203

Mercurio (Quick Silver)

P204

Artemisa (Sagebrush)

P205

Cardenal (Cardinal)

P900CS

Verde (Green)

El número de modelo se puede localizar en una pequeña etiqueta que está debajo del producto.

Las carpas de viaje fueron fabricadas en China y se vendieron en tiendas independientes especiales para niños en todo el país y en línea en Amazon.com, desde enero de 2005 hasta el presente, por entre $70 y $100.

Los consumidores deben dejar de usar de inmediato las carpas y ponerse en contacto con KidCo para recibir un kit de reparación gratuito. Los kits de reparación variarán según el modelo y se enviarán a los consumidores a partir de diciembre de 2012. Comuníquese con KidCo llamando gratuitamente al (855) 847-8600 entre las 8:30 a.m. y las 5:00 p.m. hora del Centro, de lunes a viernes, o visite el sitio web de la empresa en www.kidco.com para recibir el kit de reparación.
