Product Details
| Product name | "Circus America" playpens |
| Description | A free modification kit is available for "Circus America" playpens that are mesh-sided with drop sides, model number 585. The affected collapsible mesh-sided playpens may be identified by a self-adhesive label on the floorboard which states: Art, 585, CIRCUS AMERICA EX. The playpens measure 39 by 39 by 33 inches and contain a removable foam floor pad. The product has four plastic rings about three inches in diameter on the inside which can be used by a child to pull up on. Four hinges made of plastic must be pushed up in order to fold the playpen. The product is imported from Italy. |
| Problem | Some of the playpens fail to warn users of a potential suffocation hazard if an infant is left in the playpen with one of the sides down. All of the playpens present a finger crushing hazard at two locations in the drop side locking system. In addition, when the playpens are folded for storage, it is possible for a child to remove the plastic feet which may present a choking hazard. |
