A retirement of around 192,000 game kitchens was issued after a young child died of strangulation in Oregon while playing with one.
Backyard Kids, LLC, Plane, Texas, announced the retirement of Kidkraft Farm To Table Model Play Kitchens Thursday. The company offers to replace hooks from all units, which are used to maintain toy kitchen accessories, such as pots, according to the US Consumer Product Commission. UU.
The kitchens are originally manufactured by Kidkraft, Inc., and only around 400 of them were sold by Backyard Kids LLC to consumers, including 12 sold in Canada.
The Kitchens are sold from $ 120 to $ 270 and sold at Kidkraft.com, Amazon.com and Walmart.com from 2018 to this month, according to the Security Commission.
The retirement occurs after a hook trapped in the shirt of a 23 -month -old boy in Oregon who was dragging an opening in the back of the kitchen of the work in 2023.
“The child could not be rescued and died of strangulation and suffocation,” said the Security Commission in a press release.
In a statement, Kidkraft said that the 53411 model plays kitchens “represent a danger of strangulation and suffocation and a risk of serious injuries or death to young children who rise in the counter or drag by the opening in the back of the kitchens of the work.”
“His security is our first priority,” said the toy manufacturer in the statement.
The company declared bankruptcy in May 2024. It is not clear if this is connected to the child’s death in 2023.
Backyard Kids, LLC did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
People who have toy kitchens that stop using them are recommended, eliminate original hooks and communicate with Backyard Kids, LLC to obtain replacement hooks, said the security commission.
