A popular baby monitor is being recalled across Canada and the U.S. following two strangulation deaths in the U.S., reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Owners of the “Summer Infant” video baby monitors will be given a sticker for the unit and instructions.
A spokeswoman for “Summer Infant” said the monitors themselves are not defective. However, the cords, if placed close to the baby, can be a strangulation hazard.
More than 40 different models are involved.
Safety tips can be found on the “Summer Infant” website and they can be contacted at 1-800-426-8627.
