What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (strangulation/suffocation) where no injuries have been reported with the specific units, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical or unreported harm risks.
Plain-English summary
Hamacas, of Yelm, Washington, is recalling 53 mini-hammocks sold on its website from January through April 2000 for approximately $20. The recalled items are model number HA005, woven from thin cotton strings with nylon end strings in solid or multi-striped colors. A label attached to the end loop reads, "WOVEN BY HAND AND MADE IN YUCATAN MEXICO."
The recall is issued because the mini-hammocks lack spreader bars to hold the bed open. Without these bars, the hammocks can suddenly twist around a child's neck and strangle them. Additionally, infants sleeping on the soft bedding can become wedged in positions where they cannot breathe. While no injuries have been reported with these specific hammocks, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) received reports of 12 deaths of children in other mini-hammocks between 1984 and 1995.
Consumers with one of these hammocks should stop using it immediately. To receive an adult replacement hammock, consumers should contact Hamacas at (360) 493-6600 or by e-mail at [email protected].
