Nearly a half-million Skip Hop Silver Lining Cloud Activity Gyms are being recalled due to concerns about a potential choking hazard, safety regulators said.
The recall involves only the raindrops on the cloud toy sold with the Skip Hop Silver Lining Cloud Activity Gym, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
The cloud toy is a plush, two-sided character face cloud with three raindrops attached to it by ribbons.
The cloud toy attaches to the Silver Lining Cloud Activity Gym via a plastic ring.
The raindrops on the cloud toy included with the activity gym can detach from the ribbon, posing a choking hazard if a child places it in his or her mouth.
The recall covers 472,850 activity gyms. In addition, about 23,280 were sold in Canada and about 2,240 were sold in Mexico.
Skip Hop has received 12 reports of children putting the raindrops on the cloud toy in their mouths. No injuries have been reported.
The style number for the Silver Lining Cloud Activity Gym is 307150 and the UPC number is 879674025721 and is printed on the Silver Lining Cloud Activity Gym playmat. The recall only involves the raindrops on the cloud toy.
Company Says 'This is an Isolated Issue'
Consumers should immediately cut the raindrops on the cloud toy with a pair of scissors, take a photo of the cloud toy with the raindrops removed, discard the raindrops in the trash, and submit the photo of the cloud toy with the raindrops cut off at www.skiphoprecall.com.
"After recently receiving feedback on a limited number of products, we discovered that the raindrop toy component included in our Silver Lining Cloud Activity Gym could pose a potential hazard to children," Skip Hop said on its website. "This is an isolated issue which only affects the raindrop toy component, not the activity gym."
Upon receipt of the photo, consumers will be issued a $10 Skip Hop gift card and a free shipping code.
