Recalled: Activity centers from LeapFrog
FRIDAY, Sept. 8 (BabyCenter News) — LeapFrog is recalling about 186,000 of its Learn-Around Playground Activity Centers in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). A child's arm can get caught in the activity center's plastic tube, posing a risk of injury.
LeapFrog has received 145 reports of children's arms becoming caught in the toy, and 54 of these incidents resulted in minor scratches and bruises.
The Learn-Around Playground is a multicolored, plastic musical activity center for children ages 6 to 36 months. It includes a Slide and Sing alphabet panel and a ball drop on the left side; a Number Rock musical keyboard in the center; and a Flying Rhymes airplane, pop-up LittleLeap, and "smart" book on the right side. The words "Leap Frog Baby" are printed on the top of the activity center, and the item number "10200" is written underneath the activity table below the words "Made in China."
The toys were sold at department stores, toy stores, and online retailers — including LeapFrog's Web site — from July 2005 through August 2006 for about $60.
