Product name Toy basketball nets
Description The toy basketball sets with nets come in a variety of colors and include a nylon net and plastic hoop attached to a plastic pole. The pole is set in a plastic base and adjusts from 3.5 to 6 feet high. 
Problem With these particular basketball sets, children could strangle on loops or openings in the nets that come unhooked from the rim, or have knots that slide. If children put their heads into these openings, the net can get tangled around their necks.
