Product Hazards
Play Yards / Playpens
In November 1998, more than 9.6 million play yards/playpens with protruding rivets were recalled
because they pose a strangulation risk. Since 1983, CPSC has received eight reports of toddlers
who strangled in their playpens when pacifier strings or clothing they were wearing caught on
the playpens' protruding rivets.
If your play yard/playpen has these rivets, stop using it
immediately and call the CPSC at 800/794-4115.
A recall or a corrective action had been issued for other play yards
for various reasons such as risk of serious injury or death if mis-assembled; choking
or entanglement hazards; head entrapment or suffocation; and risk of injury from tipping when
legs on the product become loose and separate.
