Plain-English summary

Nova Natural Toys & Crafts LLC is recalling approximately 265 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, also known as a fixing set, was sold with the hammock. The tag below the restraint straps reads "La Siesta," and the model number YABN-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. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.

The hammocks were sold online at www.novanatural.com from October 2007 through October 2008 for about $100. Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact Nova Natural to receive a free replacement hammock. The company has already contacted all known purchasers. For more information, consumers can call Nova Natural toll-free at (877) 668-2111 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or visit www.novanatural.com.
