WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Consumer Product Safety Commission says about a million play yards are being recalled because of a falling hazard.

The play yards are distributed by Kolcraft Enterprises of Chicago. They were manufactured in China, Spain and Italy and sold under the brand names Kolcraft, Carter's, Sesame Street, Jeep, Contours, Care Bear and Eric Carle.

The play yards are being recalled because the side rails can unlatch unexpectedly. The company has received 347 reports of sides collapsing, resulting in 21 injuries, including a concussion.

The play yards were sold online as well as by Babies R Us, Wal-Mart, Kmart, Sears, Target and other stores around the country between January 2000 and January 2009.

Details are available by phone at 866-594-4208, and on the Websites which are linked below.
