Yayita Baby Hammocks Can Flip Over. Two firms are recalling defective Yayita Baby Hammocks because they can flip over, posing a serious fall and strangulation hazard to infants who become entrapped in the seat’s restraint straps while upside down. According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), consumers should immediately stop using these baby hammocks.
The first recall involves 265 Yayita Baby Hammocks distributed by Nova Natural Toys & Crafts LLC, of Williston, Vt. The recalled baby hammock is a cream-colored canvas and hangs from a wooden pole. The hammock measures about 29 x 43 inches. It has three restraint straps with red buckles and is attached to a cushioned pad for the infant. A mounting fixture, also called a fixing set, is sold with the hammock. “La Siesta” is printed on a tag located below the restraint straps. Model number YABN-1 is printed on a white tag sewn into the hammock’s side seam. They were sold by Nova Natural online at www.novanatural.com from October 2007 through October 2008 for about $100.
