Toy Basketball Nets
(11 million) sold between 1976 and 1998.
Can
strangle children on loops or openings in nets that come unhooked from
the rim or have knots that slide.
CPSC is aware of more than 20 reports
of children under 5 years old whose head or neck caught in the net of a
toy basketball set, and an 18-month-old child died after becoming
entangled in a partly unhooked net.
People should remove and throw away
nets that can unhook or have knots that slide.
Call the manufacturer to
get new nets that securely attach to the rim and do not have sliding
knots.
