DaVinci Recalls Bassinets due to Fall and Entrapment Risks

On July 9, 2020, DaVinci issued a recall for their Bailey bassinets. According to the recall, recall number 20-762, the recalled bassinets’ mattress support can become disengaged, resulting in fall and entrapment risks to infants. The recall has affected approximately 3,000 products in the U.S. It is important to note that the bassinets had previously been recalled in December 2019.

The recall specifically involves the wooden DaVinci Bailey Bassinets for infants, which were available in gray, espresso, natural, and white. The product numbers associated with each color are listed below:

• M0934G (gray)
• M0934E (espresso)
• M0934N (natural)
• M0934W (white)

The mattresses have a white label (attached to the mattress support board) with model number “0934” printed. The product packaging also has the model number printed. Once assembled, the recalled bassinets measure approximately 38 inches long by 20 inches wide by 30 inches high; they weigh approximately 21 pounds. The bassinets were sold with a waterproof cradle pad. The company name, DaVinci, is printed on the instruction manual, product packaging, and product registration card.

The recalled basinets were available online via JCPenny.com, Target.com, Amazon.Com, BuyBuyBaby.com, and other online retailers from August 2018 through September 2019. The bassinets were sold for approximately $110 each.

According to the recall, the company has received at least thirteen reports of the mattress support on the basinet becoming disengaged; however, allegedly no injuries have been reported.

DaVinci is urging consumers affected by the recall to stop using the defective bassinets and contact them for a free repair kit to reinforce the mattress support. Until the repair is complete, affected parents should find alternate sleeping accommodations for the infant. All known consumers are being contacted directly by the company.

Should you follow the recommendations made by DaVinci? If your infant did not suffer any harm associated with the defective product, it makes sense to agree to a free repair; after all, the recall only represents an inconvenience in these cases. But what if your infant did suffer harm due to the defective product? If an incident with the defective product directly led to the harm that your child suffered, you should never consider the suggestion of a free repair; instead, you should explore your legal options.

What legal options are available to you? What can you do if your infant suffered harm as a direct result of the defective product? If your child was harmed due to a defective bassinet, you might have grounds to pursue a product liability claim against DaVinci.

The Harm Associated with the Defective DaVinci Bassinets

According to the recall, the mattress support can become disengaged, resulting in a fall and entrapment risk to infants. If the mattress support fails, the child can fall and suffer a number of injuries, including head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, neck/back injuries, spinal cord injuries, shoulder injuries, fractured bones, lacerations, scrapes, and bruises, for example. After the fall, infants could become entrapped under the bassinet, potentially leading to additional harm. If your infant fell from the bassinet and suffered harm, you should consider the possibility of pursuing a claim against DaVinci.

Product Liability and Your Right to Sue

Based on the details surrounding your claim (including the harm that your child suffered and the cause of the incident), you might have grounds to pursue a claim based on the concept of product liability. What is product liability? Based on product liability, companies owe their consumers a duty of care. This means that companies must ensure that their products are completely safe for their consumers to use. They must test and inspect their products, which allows them to identify and address any defects/hazards present in the products. Companies often fail to exercise their duty of care towards consumers. They breach their duty of care and put their consumers at risk of suffering harm. When a defective product or a breached duty of care directly leads to the harm that a consumer suffers, the company that breached their duty of care and made the defective product available could be held accountable and sued. More specifically, affected consumers could file product liability claims against the at-fault companies.

Could I Be Compensated?

Some of the categories of compensation that you could be eligible to recover could include the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial damages
• Punitive damages

The type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive will always depend strictly on the details surrounding the claim – including the cause of the incident, the injuries suffered, and the permanency of the injuries, for instance. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the type and amount of compensation that you could recover upon reaching a successful outcome, you must speak with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.

Understanding the Statute of Limitations

If you are thinking about the possibility of pursuing a product liability claim against DaVinci for the harm that your child suffered, you must ensure that you take action within the appropriate length of time. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations, which ensure that claims are filed on time. If claimants fail to file their claims within the appropriate length of time, claimants could simply lose their right to sue. How long do you have to file your claim? In California, product liability claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, meaning that claimants only have two years to file their claims. However, exceptions could apply. In cases that involve victimized children, the statute of limitations could be tolled (or paused) until the child reaches an adult age. That is, the statute of limitations will not start running until after the child turns eighteen-years-old (or is legally emancipated). To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the specific length of time that you have to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.
