Recall: Children’s Tents Recalled Due to Laceration Hazard
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a recall of about 84,000 “Playtime Pals Pop-Up Hideaway Hut” children’s tents. The tents come in a variety of styles and colors. Reports have been made that the fiberglass rob that supports the tent can break and splinter, becoming a laceration hazard to children.
