Plain-English summary
Simulated Wood Grain Design LLC (doing business as The FORT) of St. Louis, Missouri, is recalling approximately 13,250 children's play tents. The tents consist of 12 cushions made of polyurethane foam in various shapes covered with synthetic leather fabric, measuring about 30 inches high and 26 inches wide when assembled.
The magnets used to connect the tent's pieces can become dislodged from their pouches. When loose, these magnets pose choking hazards to young children and can cause lacerations and pinched fingers.
The recalled tents were sold online at www.getthefort.com and www.zulily.com from July 2021 through November 2022 for between $200 and $400. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there have been 17 reports of loose or broken magnets, resulting in laceration injuries to two adults and one pinched finger to a child.
Consumers should dispose of the recalled play tents immediately. The CPSC states it is illegal to resell or donate recalled products. Because the manufacturer is no longer in business, no remedy is available for consumers. For more information, call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772.
