    I bought a pack and play thats from safety 1st the winnie the pooh one. The whole thing was brand new when i bought it from k-mart. My daughter isn’t even 9 months old and the edges looks like the sides are abouting to claps. I went to buy another pack and play today bc my husband and i always travel and its helps. Now i found out today it is on recall. I read about the basinet piece. Did they even fix the sides where the plastic comes out of the screws. My daughter is average weight and average height so i dont see how the plastic sided pieces where it comes together broken. I wonder are they even fixing that. I turn in the white paper when u register what u bought what happend. Why didn’t they contact me if its been recalled? Well i wonder what are they going to do about this crappy product. I really hope they replace it bc my view right now is to stay away from safety first. IF they going to make cheap products that harm babies. I dont buy products to fall apart and hurt my child. And the only reason why i went to this company to buy this is bc its suppost to be a good company, but how is it a good company and the whole sided where the screws through the plastic?

Have something to share?
