Baby hammocks recalled for safety hazards

About 100 Yayita baby hammocks are being recalled in the U.S. because they may flip over, creating a fall and strangulation hazard to infants, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The CPSC said Friday the hammocks were being recalled by New Jersey-based Flaghouse Inc.
The company has learned of one hammock flipping. No injuries were reported.
The hammocks were sold through the company's catalogue and website and through BJ Wholesale Club's website from September 2007 through August 2008 for about $90 US.
The hammocks were made in Colombia.
Consumers should stop using the hammocks and contact the company for a refund or credit.
