Baby Hammocks Recalled by FlagHouse Inc. Due to Fall and Strangulation Hazards
08604 · Recalled 2008-08-29 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled baby hammock is cream-colored canvas and hangs from a wooden pole. The hammock measures about 29 x 43 inches. It has three restraint straps with red buckles and is attached to a cushioned pad for the infant. A mounting fixture, also called a fixing set, is sold with the hammock. "La Siesta" is printed on a tag located below the restraint straps. Model number YABP-1 is printed on a white tag sewn into the hammock's side seam.
Hazards
The hammock can flip over, posing a serious fall hazard and strangulation hazard to infants who get entrapped in the seat's restraint straps while upside down.
Reported injuries
FlagHouse has received one report of an incident in which the hammock flipped over entrapping a 7-month-old boy in the restraint straps. No injuries have been reported.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the baby hammock and contact FlagHouse to receive a full refund, or credit toward the purchase of another product.
