CPSC recalls baby hammocks
- August 5, 2009 3:06 PM
- By Peter Hadzipetros
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling baby hammocks made by Nova Natural Toys & Crafts because of a strangulation risk.
The Yayita Baby Hammock can flip over, posing a serious fall hazard and strangulation hazard to infants who become entrapped in the seat’s restraint straps while upside down.
No incidents have been reported, but consumers are instructed to stop using the product and contact Nova Natural for a free replacement hammock.
The hammocks were sold online from October 2007 through October 2008 for about $100. About 265 were sold.
