Plain-English summary

Kaplan Early Learning Company is recalling La Siesta Yayita Baby Hammocks due to fall and strangulation hazards. 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 called a fixing set, is sold with the hammock. The word "La Siesta" is printed on a tag below the restraint straps, and the model number YABN-1 is printed on a white tag sewn into the side seam.

The hammock can flip over, which poses a serious fall hazard and a strangulation hazard to infants who become entrapped in the seat's restraint straps while upside down. No incidents have been reported.

About 200 units were sold through Kaplan's 2005-2007 Infant, Toddlers & Two (ITT) catalog and online at www.kaplanco.com from July 2005 through August 2008 for about $100. Consumers should immediately stop using the baby hammock and contact Kaplan to receive a full credit toward the purchase of another product. The firm has contacted all known purchasers of this product.
