Travel cots recalled due to choking hazard

About 1,000 travel cots are being voluntarily recalled because they pose a choking hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced.
The phil & teds T2 travel cots, distributed by Regal Lager Inc, contain a plastic cap sealing corner connectors. These caps can come loose and pose a choking hazard to young children.
Regal Lager has received one report of a cap found in a child's mouth but no injuries have been reported.
The cots were sold in baby furniture and baby product stores in the United States and through online retailers from June 2005 through August 2006 for about $150 US.
Consumers should stop using the cots immediately and contact Regal Lager for a free replacement hinge set.
