Product name | Crib Soft Playgrounds |
Description | The Crib Soft Playground is an activity center for use in cribs and playpens. The toy is meant to be attached to the sides of a solid structure crib or playpen by string at each of its four corners. The recalled activity centers measure about 11 ½ inches by 14 inches. One version of the product is labeled "SHELCORE CRIB SOFT Playground". The other version was labeled "Winnie-the -Pooh Crib Soft Playground". Some of the activity centers were sold as part of a three-piece crib toy set. |
Problem | The instructions do not advise consumers about proper string tightness or against use in a mesh-sided crib or mesh-sided playpen. When the strings are not tied tightly or become loosened with use, the string between the toy and crib may present a potential strangulation hazard if a child were to become entrapped between the toy and the crib or playpen side. |
