Tots in Mind recalls portable playard tents due to clips that can break or be removed by children, risking strangulation if the tent is lifted. Consumers should stop using and get free replacement clips by late August or early September 2010.
Clips that attach the tent to the top of the playard can break or be removed by a child. A child can lift the tent and become entrapped at the neck between the rigid playard frame and the metal base rod of the tent, posing a strangulation hazard.
Tots in Mind is recalling portable playard tents because the clips that attach the tent to the playard can break or be removed by a child. This poses a strangulation risk if the child lifts the tent and gets trapped between the playard frame and the tent's metal base rod.
The plastic clips that secure the tent to the playard can break or be removed by a child. If the child lifts the tent, they can become trapped at the neck between the rigid playard frame and the metal base rod of the tent, leading to strangulation.
Parents or caregivers who own the Cozy Indoor Outdoor Portable Playard Tents Plus Cabana Kits are most at risk. Children under age 3 who use these tents are particularly vulnerable due to the small size of the clips.
The dome-shaped white mesh tent is designed to fit over playards as small as 28x40 inches or as large as 31x44 inches. It includes 12 plastic clips to attach the tent to the playard through button holes along the bottom of the tent.
Immediately stop using the playard tents to prevent any risk of strangulation.
Get free replacement clips by contacting Tots in Mind for the repair.
