Related Recalls
The elastic on the pajamas’ ankles can be too tight and restrict blood circulation, posing an injury hazard.
The swings pose a suffocation hazard and a risk of serious injury or death to babies because they were marketed for infant sleep and have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees, in violation of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act. The swings also fail to meet the mandatory warning requirements under the swing regulations. In addition, the remote control included with the swings contains a lithium coin battery and is missing the required warnings and instructions for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries under Reese’s Law.
The recalled child safety gates violate the federal safety regulation for expansion gates and expandable enclosures, because a child’s torso can fit through the opening between the gate slat and side wall, a child’s torso can fit through the secondary opening, the locking mechanism does not fully engage and/or the gate does not resist a push-out force. These failures pose a risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment and fall hazards.
The high chairs pose a deadly fall hazard to babies because the restraint system is not attached to the product and the locks or latches can fail. In addition, the high chairs pose an entrapment hazard because the opening between the seat and tray is large enough that a child can become entrapped in it. These are violations of the federal regulations for high chairs.
The recalled rollers tile toy violates the mandatory federal regulation for toy magnets because it contains a magnet that can become loose, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning, and death.
The hinges on the foldable rear kickstand support leg can crack or break, posing a fall hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. 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.
