WASHINGTON, 18 de febrero de 2011 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- La Comisión para la Seguridad de Productos de Consumo (CPSC) de los Estados Unidos, en cooperación con Summer Infant Inc., de Woonsocket, Rhode Island, está anunciando un retiro voluntario del mercado a fin de suministrar nuevas etiquetas e instrucciones para casi 1.7 millones de video monitores para bebés con cable. Los cables pueden presentar peligro de estrangulación para bebés y niños pequeños cuando son colocados demasiado cerca de la cuna. En vista de este peligro de estrangulación serio, los padres y cuidadores nunca deben colocar ni éstas ni otras cámaras con cable dentro de los tres pies de distancia de una cuna.

En el pasado año, la CPSC y la firma han recibido reportes de dos muertes de bebés por estrangulación en los cables eléctricos de video monitores para bebés Summer Infant. En marzo de 2010, una niña de 10 meses de Washington, D.C., se estranguló en su cuna con el cable eléctrico de un video monitor para bebés Summer Infant. El video monitor había sido colocado encima de la baranda de la cuna.

En noviembre de 2010, la CPSC recibió un reporte de un niño de seis meses de Conway, Carolina del Sur, que se estranguló con el cable eléctrico de un video monitor puesto en la mesita para cambiar los pañales al bebé. En enero de 2011, la CPSC se informó de que el referido producto se trataba de un video monitor para bebés Summer Infant.

La CPSC y la firma también están enteradas de un incidente en que un niño de 20 meses de Pittsburgh, Pensilvania , fue encontrado en su cuna a punto de estrangularse con el cable de la cámara del monitor que se le había envuelto alrededor del cuello. La cámara del monitor Summer Infant estaba montada en la pared, sin embargo el niño logró agarrar el cable. Fue liberado del cable sin sufrir lesiones serias.  

Summer Infant ha iniciado una campaña para proveer nuevas etiquetas para los cables eléctricos e instrucciones para los consumidores que tienen en su poder video monitores retirados distribuidos entre enero de 2003 y febrero de 2011. Los monitores para bebés fueron vendidos por grandes minoristas, comercializadores de productos de consumo, y tiendas de productos juveniles en todo el país por entre $60 y $300. Se vendieron en más de 40 diferentes modelos, incluyendo portátiles, digitales y monitores de video a color. Todos los video monitores incluyen una cámara (colocada en el cuarto del bebé) y un dispositivo portátil (algunos modelos incluyen dos dispositivos portátiles) que permiten que el cuidador vea y/u oiga al bebé de una distancia determinada. La marca "Summer" aparece en el producto.  

El producto fue fabricado en China.

La CPSC y Summer Infant instan a los padres a cerciorarse de inmediato de la ubicación de los video monitores, incluyendo las cámaras montadas en las paredes, y todos los cables eléctricos, para estar seguros de que los cables estén fuera del alcance de sus hijos. Los consumidores deben llamar a Summer Infant sin cargo al (800) 426-8627 entre las 8 am y las 5 pm ET de lunes a viernes o visitar el sitio web de la firma en www.summerinfant.com/Home/Product-Recall.aspx para recibir una nueva etiqueta de advertencia permanente sobre el riesgo de estrangulación e instrucciones actualizadas de cómo montar una cámara en forma segura y mantener los cables fuera del alcance de los niños.

En octubre de 2010, la CPSC publicó una advertencia de seguridad alertándoles a los consumidores sobre seis estrangulaciones con cables de monitores para bebé desde 2004. Desde aquella advertencia, el total ha subido a siete muertes reportadas. La CPSC ha modificado la advertencia de seguridad Infants Can Strangle in Baby Monitor Cords (Los bebés pueden estrangularse en los cables de monitores para bebé).
