CPSC, Hamacas Recall Baby Hammocks - image 1

Description

They are woven from thin cotton strings with nylon end strings in solid or multi-striped colors. The label attached to the end loop reads, "WOVEN BY HAND AND MADE IN YUCATAN MEXICO."

Hazard

Without spreader bars to hold the mini-hammock bed open, the mini-hammocks can suddenly twist around children's necks and strangle them. Also, infants sleeping on soft bedding can become wedged in positions in which they cannot breathe.

Remedy

Consumers with one of these hammocks should stop using it immediately. For additional information, contact Hamacas to receive an adult replacement hammock.
