The company Dream On Me is recalling their 2-in-1 Bassinet to Cradle after part of the cradle collapsed on a sleeping infant.

This item has an adjustable metal frame that cause the sides to lower, which could cause infants to fall out of the cradle, become trapped or suffocate from the half-canopy top and fabric sides, according to PR Newswire.

There was one incident where the wire frame that supports the fabric and canopy collapsed on a sleeping infant in the cradle, United States Consumer Product Safety Commission reported.

No injuries have been reported, the Commission reports.

About 13,000 cradles in the colors pink, blue, green and white were manufactured from May 2012 to October 2014, Dream On Me reports.

The items were sold online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Wayfair.com, ToysRUs.com and Kohls.com from May 2012 to October 2014 for about $60 during this time, PR Newswire reports.
