Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Cameron Company are recalling the Playtime Pals Pop-Up Hideaway Hut children's tents due to a laceration hazard. The tents feature four animal themes: hippo (pink), dog (brown), shark (blue), and tiger (orange). Each tent contains a fiberglass rod that springs to deploy the tent and supports the nylon shell. The rod can break, splinter, and become sharp, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.

The firm has received 270 reports of tent rods breaking, including two reports of bruises and lacerations. About 84,000 units of the recalled tents were sold exclusively at Home Depot stores nationwide during November 2017 for about $13. The tents were manufactured by Jinhua Longyou Import and Export Co., of China, and imported by the Jewett Cameron Company of North Plains, Ore.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tents and return them to Home Depot for a full refund or store credit. For more information, consumers can contact the Jewett Cameron Company at 800-955-2879 from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.jewettcameron.com and click on the “Product Recall” button or banner on the home page.
