According to an announcement on the US Consumer Product and Safety Commission’s website, Illinois-based Collections Etc., Inc has voluntarily recalled 9000 Double Hammocks sold through various websites and catalogs nationwide between May and August 2007. The wooden rods, or spreader bars in the hammocks can break, causing the hammock and its occupants to suddenly collapse to the ground. There have been injuries reported including minor cuts, and (understandably) sore necks and backs. Affected hammocks are made with a solid green fabric, measuring 73 inches long by 46 inches wide, and white support ropes. The double hammocks were made by Transfar International Corp. of Taipei, Taiwan; and retailed for around $20. If you bought this hammock, stop using it immediately and contact Collections Etc. at (800) 518-3020 for a full refund. Or go to their website at www.collectionsetc.com.
