CPSC recalls two children's items: trampoline and Safety1st locks

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of both First Fitness Trampolines with Handlebars and Safety1st Toilet and Cabinet Locks.

You are advised to stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.

About 40,000 of the First Fitness Trampolines have been recalled. Theyre manufactured by Aqua-Leisure Industries, Inc. of Avon, Mass.

According to the CPSC, metal fatigue can cause the handlebar of the trampoline to break away during use, posing a risk of laceration from exposed metal surfaces or other injury from a fall. Four reports of broken handlebars have been reported, but no injuries.

This recall involves First Fitness Kids First trampolines with handlebars. The child-size toy trampolines have a red and blue metal handlebar, a blue nylon deck guard and a black jumping deck. First Fitness is embossed on the jumping deck in white letters. The trampolines can be identified by model number FF-6902TR and Toys R Us SKN 491463. The model and store numbers can be found on the lower right corner of the back of the packaging. A sewn-in tag on the bottom of the deck lists the factory date code of five numbers followed by GLTX.

The trampolines were sold exclusively atToys R Us stores nationwide from September 2010 through April 2012 for between $45 and $70.

Consumers are instructed to immediately take the recalled trampolines from children and contact Aqua-Leisures recall hotline for a full refund. Refund contact information is at the right of this article.

In addition, about 183,000 toilet locks and 685,000 cabinet locks have been recalled. They were manufactured by Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG) Inc., of Columbus, Ind.

The CPSC says that young children can unexpectedly disengage the toilet locks and gain access to water in the toilet, posing the risk of drowning. The cabinet locks are being recalled because young children can disengage the lock, posing the risk of injury from dangerous or unsafe items stored in the cabinet.

DJG has received 110 reports of toilet locks that did not adequately secure the lid, including eight reports of children, under the age of two, who were able to disengage or break the lock.
