WASHINGTON, July 8 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Kolcraft play yards due to a fall hazard.

The play yards include a side rail that can fail to close properly. The latches on the side rails can open unexpected, causing a child to fall, the commission said in in a statement.

About 1 million of the play yards made in China, Spain and Italy, were imported by Kolcraft Enterprises of Chicago, Ill., and sold nationwide between January 2000 and January 2009 for between $50 and $160.

The recall involves Kolcraft Travelin' Tot play yards manufactured for Carter's, Sesame Street, Jeep, Contures, Care Bare and Eric Carle, the commission said.

Consumers were advised to stop using the recalled play yards immediately and contact Kolcraft for a free repair kit.

Consumers can call 866-594-4208 for information.
