Bassinet Sales Halted
Under new Consumer Protection powers barely two weeks old, the federal CPSC has issued a "pull off the shelves and refund existing models" order for 900,000 multiuse baby bassinets. The move was prompted because a baby apparently managed to strangle itself on a metal bar. Additionally, the agency noted that there had been another infant death a year ago, but is reported to have declined to discuss that matter because it is an "ongoing investigation."
A quick Froogle search reveals that these particular bassinets run about $100 each.
