After injuries, Evenflo recalls 213,000 activity centers
February 17, 2009 5:20 PM

Activity Center After getting reports of injuries and a broken collarbone, Evenflo today recalled 213,000 activity centers because they pose a fall hazard to youngsters. Evenflo has received 11 reports of dislodged end caps which resulted in nine minor injuries, including bumps and bruises in the U.S. Evenflo has also received a report of a dislodged end cap that resulted in a child suffering a broken collarbone in Canada.

The recall involves Evenflo ExerSaucer Triple Fun stationary activity centers made between October 2006 and December 2008. The model number is 6231711. It can be used in three positions and the Stage 3 position involves converting the product into an activity table using an end cap that can accidentally detach. No other ExerSaucer models use end caps and, therefore, no other models are included in this recall.

Made in the U.S., the activity centers were sold at juvenile product and mass merchandise stores nationwide, including Toys ‘R' Us and Burlington Baby Depot, from October 2006 through February 2009 for about $120.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is telling consumers to immediately stop using the activity table in Stage 3 and contact Evenflo to receive a free replacement end cap. The product may continue to be used in Stages 1 and 2 without changes. Contact Evenflo at (800) 233-5921 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm’s Web site.
