This fabric flap is secured by Velcro (c) fasteners, which are intended to be partially removed when the bassinet is converted into the bedside/close-sleeper mode.

Problem | If the Velcro (c) fasteners are not properly re-secured when the fabric flap is adjusted, or if the consumer entirely removes the fabric flap exposing the metal bars, an infant can slip through the opening between the lower metal bar and the mattress support and become entrapped and suffocate or strangle. | |
