CPSC, Manufacturers Announce Recall to Replace Toy and Youth Basketball Nets

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

Children could strangle on loops or openings in nets that come unhooked from the rim or have knots that slide. If children put their heads into these openings, the net can get tangled around their necks.

What to do

Consumers should remove and throw away nets that can unhook or have knots that slide. Manufacturers will send consumers new nets that securely attach to the rim and do not have sliding knots. The basketball set can be used without a net until the new net arrives. Consumers should not return the product to stores.
