What happened

Summer Infant Products Inc. is recalling approximately 5,000 Garden Play Yard Pals crib and play yard rail toys due to a laceration hazard. The plastic flower toy stem can break when bent, creating a sharp edge that may cause cuts or puncture injuries to young children. The toy features three figures on a plastic base—a gopher in a cup, a butterfly with a spinning ball rattle, and a flowered mirror with red and purple clackers—and has "Summer" written in white letters on the front of the base. The toys were sold at retailers including Babies R Us, Ross Stores, TJ Maxx, and Value City from February 1998 through November 1998 for approximately $12. Summer Infant Products has received three reports of flower stem breaking, though no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the Garden Play Yard Pals immediately.
