Question by grandma zaza: Do any of you see something wrong with this recall?
WASHINGTON – Nearly 2 million Summer Infant video baby monitors were recalled Friday after being linked to the strangulation deaths of two infants.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the electrical cords on the monitors can be dangerous for babies if placed too close to their cribs.
According to the commission, a 10-month-old girl from Washington, D.C., died in March when she strangled on the cord of a Summer Infant monitor camera that had been placed on the top of the crib rail. In November, a 6-month-old boy from Conway, S.C., strangled in the electrical cord of a baby monitor placed on the changing table attached to his crib.

Forget about the parents negligence, which is clear. But, aren’t TV baby monitors used to watch the baby?
I am sorry, but I see this as a very silly recall. Surely, this company will lose tons of business because of this, and the result will be more lost jobs.
Government regulation run amok!

Idiot parents, of course.
Negligence causing the death of your own child and then blame the manufacturer for your problems.
So they’re recalling them to put warning labels on them. If it saves a few lives, I don’t have a big problem with it.
Irresponsible parents.
Reminds of parents suing McDonald’s because their kids are fat from eating there all the time, are the children running the house hold?
