Bassinets such as the ones pictured here have been recalled by Burlington Basket Co.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Around 500,000 bassinets manufactured by the Burlington Basket Co. of Burlington, Iowa, have been recalled due to a risk of collapse, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
According to the government, there have been 10 reports of incidents in which the bassinets collapsed because the basket's folding legs were not locked in place.
Those collapses resulted left two infants with minor injuries that included a bruise to the head and a bruised shoulder.
The recall involves all Burlington Basket bassinets manufactured before June 2010, and covers models with folding legs attached to the basket with white plastic pins.
The products sold between January 2003 and August 2010 by Amazon.com and Walmart, as well as other retailers. The units were priced around $50.
Consumers should stop using the basket immediately, the CPSC said.
The recall does not involve returning the bassinet. Instead, Burlington Basket will provide a free kit with detailed instructions on how to properly assemble and firmly lock the bassinet's folding legs into place.
Rick Thompson, CEO of Burlington Basket, said that if assembly directions included with the bassinet are followed, the product is safe. The company has provided additional information on its website.
