CPSC, Hangouts Recall Baby Hammocks - image 1

Description

The "baby hammocks" are 6-foot-long mini-hammocks. 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, "Hangouts® from Bellartson" and "Woven by Hand in MEXICO."

Hazard

These baby hammocks can suddenly become twisted 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, and return it to Hangouts for a free, standard single hammock (model MY-SS-1130).
