Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

FlagHouse Inc. is recalling approximately 100 units of the Yayita Baby Hammock. The recalled product is a cream-colored canvas hammock that hangs from a wooden pole and measures about 29 x 43 inches. It features three restraint straps with red buckles and is attached to a cushioned pad. A mounting fixture is sold with the hammock. The tag below the restraint straps reads "La Siesta," and the model number YABP-1 is printed on a white tag sewn into the side seam.

The recall was issued because the hammock can flip over, creating a serious fall hazard and a strangulation hazard for infants who become entrapped in the seat's restraint straps while upside down. FlagHouse has received one report of an incident where the hammock flipped over and entrapped a 7-month-old boy in the restraint straps, though no injuries were reported in that specific case.

The hammocks were sold from September 2007 through August 2008 for about $90. They were available through FlagHouse Inc.'s catalog, online at www.flaghouse.com, and at BJ Wholesale Club's website, www.bjs.com. Consumers should immediately stop using the baby hammock and contact FlagHouse at (800) 793-7900 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or visit www.flaghouse.com to receive a full refund or credit toward the purchase of another product.
