Why it’s dangerous

The plastic clamp designed to secure the mobile to the crib rail can crack or break during normal use. If the clamp fails, the entire mobile unit can detach and fall into the crib, posing a direct impact injury hazard to the baby below.

Parents and caregivers who purchased VTech Lights & Lullabies Travel Mobiles in blue or pink between February 2017 and November 2017. Infants sleeping in cribs where these mobiles were attached are at risk of injury from falling objects.

How to tell if you have this one

Check if you have a VTech Lights & Lullabies Travel Mobile with a white and pink or white and blue plastic arm that clamps onto a crib side. Look for model number 80-503000 (blue) or 80-503050 (pink) printed on the battery compartment door. The pink version was sold exclusively at Amazon.com, while both were sold at Kmart, Walmart, zulily.com, and Amazon.com.
