Baby gym recall: Nearly 500K products could pose choking hazard
Nearly 500,000 children’s activity gyms are being recalled due to a choking hazard, according to a notice by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commissions.
Skip Hop is recalling its Silver Lining Cloud Activity Gym because the raindrops on the cloud toy included with the product can “detach from the ribbon, posing a choking hazard if a child places it in their mouth.”
In the U.S., 472,850 of the company's products were recalled, the CPSC reported on Feb. 9. In addition, 23,280 of gyms were sold in Canada and 2,240 were sold in Mexico.
No injuries have been reported, according to the CPSC.
