Portable Play Yards

Evenflo is offering free hinge cover kits to all 1.2 million owners of its portable play yards sold under the Happy Camper, Happy Cabana and Kiddie Camper model names. If the hinges on the product are not fully rotated, the product can collapse, possibly trapping the child in the "V" formed by the folded top rails. Additionally, if leaned or sat upon the rotating plastic hinges in the middle of the folding top rails can crack or break, presenting a sharp edge or possibly allowing the child to escape. Evenflo is urging consumers to fully rotate the hinges, to inspect the hinges regularly for signs of cracking or breaking and to avoid leaning or sitting on the top rails. All consumers who own any of these models should call (800) 447-9178 to receive free hinge covers or for more information.
