CPSC, KinderkidsTM Announce Recall of Inflatable Playrings for Babies

Is my product affected?

Inflatable playrings

  • Brand KinderkidsTM, of Lawrence, Kan.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Kinderkids inflatable playrings for babies are being recalled due to a suffocation hazard. The playring is a 40-inch diameter activity center that resembles a pool float, with a yellow plastic inner tube covered in multicolor cloth featuring eight baby activities. When a baby leans their face against the side of the playring, the soft surface can cover the baby's nose and mouth and restrict airflow, creating a risk of suffocation. The product is labeled "Discovery Playring" and is recommended for children ages 6 to 18 months.

Because the manufacturer is out of business and cannot be contacted, no refund is available. According to the recall notice, consumers should stop using the playrings immediately and discard or destroy these products.
