Description
This recall involves The FORT children's play tent. The children's play tent consists of 12 cushions made of polyurethane foam in various shapes (squares, rectangles, half-moons, triangles and arches) that are covered with a durable synthetic leather fabric. The play tent was sold in 12 different colors. The play tent measures about 30 inches high and 26 inches wide when constructed.
Hazard
The magnets used to connect the various pieces of The FORT can become dislodged from their pouches, posing choking and laceration hazards to young children.
Remedy
CPSC urges consumers to dispose of recalled children's play tents and NOT to resell or donate them. It is a violation of federal law to sell or distribute recalled products. The firm is no longer in business, so there is no remedy for consumers.
Incidents and injuries
There have been 17 reports of loose or broken magnets associated with The FORT children's play tents, resulting in laceration injuries to two adults and a pinched finger to one child.
