Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and toy manufacturers are announcing a recall to replace the nylon nets on specific toy basketball sets. The affected products include sets from Fisher-Price, Little Tikes, Ohio Art, and Today's Kids. These sets feature a nylon net and plastic hoop attached to a plastic pole that adjusts from 3.5 to 6 feet high, set in a plastic base.
The recall is being conducted because the nylon nets present a strangulation hazard. The source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses associated with this defect. The manufacturer's name and model are located on the backboard or base of each toy, and the manufacturers will assist consumers in determining if their specific nets need to be replaced.
Consumers should contact the manufacturers to determine if their toy basketball sets are affected and to arrange for the replacement of the nets. The recall was announced on December 22, 1998.
