About 425,000 infant play yards distributed by Kolcraft Enterprises Inc. of Chicago have been voluntarily recalled after the Consumer Product Safety Commission received a report of the strangulation death of a 10-month-old boy.

The recalled play yards have raised changing tables with a restraint strap that forms a loop under the changing table, which poses a strangulation hazard, the CPSC announced. There are 12 different models included in the recall. One model, the Contours 3-in-1 Play Yard, poses a possible suffocation risk.

The play yards were made in China and sold at retail stores nationwide from January 2001 through September 2007 for between $50 and $130. They come in a variety of colors and patterns. Recalled models are listed below. The mode number can be found on a white sticker located on the feet of the play yard.

Consumers should immediately contact Kolcraft online at www.kolcraft.com or by phone at (888) 655-8484 anytime for a free non-looped changing table replacement strap and a separate, free cradle repair kit.

Meanwhile, consumers should cut off and remove the existing changing table restraint strap and always remove the raised changing table and cradle or bassinet before putting their child in the play yard.
