Recall Details

Description:

The Batting Tee being recalled consists of a ball tethered to an elastic cord that is anchored to the ground with the U- shaped metal stake. The stake may come out of the ground and hit the player's body or head. A separate stand holds the ball during use. Injuries occur when children pull on the ball or cord and the stake suddenly pulls out of the ground and toward the child. 



Units with a 1 1/4-inch common washer anchoring the ball directly to the base are not being recalled.

Sportcraft and Foremost advise consumers to discontinue use of the product and return it to the retailer where purchased for a cash refund. Consumers may also return the product to:

Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.

Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
