New Jersey-based distribution company FlagHouse Inc., in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has voluntarily recalled about 100 Yayita Baby Hammocks. Picture of recalled baby hammock It seems these baby hammocks can flip over, causing a fall hazard, and possible strangulation hazard for infants who may become trapped in the three restraining straps. The hammocks are cream colored and hang from a wooden pole. The restraining straps have red buckles, which are attached to a cushioned pad. “La Siesta” is printed on a tag located below the restraint straps, and model number YABP-1 is printed on a white tag sewn into the hammock’s side seam. The hammock was sold with a mounting fixture, or fixing set. Manufactured in Colombia, the $90 baby hammocks were sold from September 2007 through August 2008 online by FlagHouse on their website and at the BJ’s Wholesale Club’s website; and offline via FlagHouse’s catalog. Anyone who bought the Yayita Baby Hammock should stop using it immediately and contact FlagHouse at (800)793-7900 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at http://www.flaghouse.com/ for a full refund or credit toward another product.
