Infantino Recalls Fun Frog Soft Gyms Due to Wire Puncture Hazard

Infantino is recalling about 26,000 Baby Connection Fun Frog Soft Gyms sold at Wal-Mart because a wire cap can detach, allowing the wire to poke through the fabric and scratch babies.

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 (laceration/puncture) where injury has been reported (two babies scratched), but no serious injuries or deaths are mentioned, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products with reported injury but not meeting the threshold for 'Severe' (significant injury/property damage).

Plain-English summary

Infantino LLC is recalling about 26,000 Baby Connection Fun Frog Soft Gyms. The product is a multi-colored, frog-shaped padded fabric mat with blue and orange support arms made of thin steel wire covered by foam and fabric. The recall was initiated because a cap on the wire supports inside the upright arms can detach, allowing the wire to poke through the fabric. This poses a laceration and puncture hazard to babies.

Infantino has received four reports of incidents involving the support wire poking through the soft gym's fabric arms. Of these four incidents, two involved babies being scratched by the exposed wire. The recalled products were sold at Wal-Mart stores nationwide from October 2004 through May 2005 for about $20. Products sold under item 150-761 with a stamp on the back showing a production date of June 2005 are not affected.

Consumers should return the recalled soft gyms to their nearest Wal-Mart store to receive a refund. Consumers can also contact Infantino at (888) 808-3111 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the company's website at www.infantino.com and click on "Product Recalls."
