CPSC, Graco Announce Recall To Repair Mesh on Playards
WASHINGTON, D.C. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Graco Children's Products
Inc. of Elverson, Pa., is announcing a free repair kit for
about 133,000 traditional style Graco playards (also known
as a playpen). The mesh on playards made between November
1995 and September 1996 may unravel from the seam, resulting
in a possible choking or entanglement hazard.
Graco has received 9 reports of toddlers unraveling a
strand from the mesh and becoming entangled in it or
mouthing it. No serious injuries resulted.
To protect children from possible injury, Graco is
offering a free, easily applied solution that will prevent
the mesh strands from unraveling.
The recalled playards were sold nationwide in juvenile
products and discount stores such as Toys R Us and Walmart
for $35 to $55 each. The drop-side style playards have vinyl
covered top rails and a vinyl covered pad. A manufacturing
date is located on a label on the playard floor under the
pad. Recalled playards have manufacturing dates 111395
(November 13, 1995) through 091296 (September 12, 1996).
Consumers should call Graco at (800) 345-4109 for a
free repair kit and application instructions or write to
Customer Affairs, Graco Children's Products Inc., P.O. Box
100, Elverson, PA 19520. Consumers should not use the
playard if the netting has started to unravel.
