Three Sisters Toys is recalling the Yayita baby hammock. The hammock can flip over, posing a serious fall hazard and strangulation hazard to infants who become entrapped in the seat's restraint straps while upside down.
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.
The hammocks were sold by Three Sisters Toys online at www.threesisterstoys.com from December 2007 through July 2008 for about $100. They were made in Colombia.
Consumers should immediately stop using the baby hammock and return it to Three Sisters Toys to receive a full refund. The firm has contacted all known purchasers of this product.
