We purchased a Pop N Go Tent Playpen (1.0) made by California Beach Co. and have had it for a couple of years. For almost its entire life (99.9% of the time), it has been kept indoors in our childrens playroom. It has only been taken outside about three times in total. On the most recent occasion, after bringing it back inside, I suddenly found black splinters and shiny fibers embedded in my hands. At first I did not know where they came from, but after inspecting the playpen, I discovered that one of the tent poles had fractured in a way similar to a greenstick break. The fracture exposed raw fiberglass inside the pole. Either my hand touched the fractured area directly while moving the tent, or the break released fiberglass dust and fibers into the surrounding area, which I then contacted. This resulted in multiple fiberglass splinters all over my hands. The injury was painful and required me to remove numerous fiberglass particles. While I was the one injured, this is a product designed to be around children. If one of my kids had touched the fractured pole or come into contact with the fibers, the consequences could have been far worse. From my inspection, the inside of the pole appeared unusually dry, suggesting that the fiberglass may not have been properly bound with resin. This may have contributed to the pole breaking in a way that released hazardous fibers rather than failing in a safer manner.

My son just turned 1 year old (8/28)and we were shocked to find out he tested positive for lead exposure. We were swabbing items around the home to test for lead prior to having the health department also come out and help figure out the source and swabbed an unpainted wooden playpen (today 9/5) that we purchased off of Amazon in April. The swab turned bright purple for lead positive. Just in case it was environmental, I wet cleaned the railings of the playpen and let them dry before testing again (and again) and still lead positive. My son spends a great deal of his time in that playpen during the day and has chewed on the rail (which is what did test positive) so we believe his exposure came from this item. Now my son is lead positive and we have to monitor for any additional health aspects that come along with this. We purchased the playpen in at the end of April and he's been using it daily since APril 24. I did report the lead positive test to Amazon via their customer service feature, but they didn't indicate that they cared. I also reported it to our health district who will also be coming out in the next week or two to test the playpen again for their records.

The consumer’s 2months old son was on the mesh portion of the play yard, where babies are intended to be and he began kicking the mesh portion, when he sustained lacerations to high right pinky toe. The baby was on the mesh portion for less than 5 minutes, when he began crying. The consumer found that as the baby was kicking his feet, his right pinky toe hit that mesh potion repeatedly and caused the injury. She will treat her son at home, and he does not need to see a doctor. The consumer used the play yard for her daughter the past year and there was no injury. However, she never used that portion of the play yard with her daughter. She’s concerned that other moms may experience the same exact type of incident.

Around August 7th, 2019 this caller had taken his 10 month old baby out of the play yard to close it up.but the unit collapsed and broke in a few different places. Round play yard with poles around it criss crossing seemed to be very sturdy which is why the caller and his wife were totally shocked when it collapsed in the manner it did. The caller contacted manufacturer who wouldn't consider replacement due to warranty, which is bogus because the product was new & defective & unsafe No injuries being reported

I purchased a baby play yard from Walmart. It is the Baby Diego Playspot Playyard and activity center. The bar spacing and the ledge provide that my baby can stand on the ledge, proceed to push her leg through, twist her leg and get caught by her ankle, knee.

Caller is reporting that the the play yard had the vinyl pressed label on the rim which made it possible for her 14 months old grandchild to put it in her mouth. Fortunately she noticed this and was able to remove it before it became a choking hazard. Caller stated that she contacted the manufacturer but they did not respond as if this was a safety issue. Caller feels that this play yard label is unsafe and should be reported.

The consumer is reporting her pack & play that she received as a baby shower present in October 2015. Sometime during the week of September 4 - 10, 2016 the caller's 10 month old son was jumping in his play yard and his mouth hit the side where four poles come together and it chipped his left front tooth. She is reporting this incident and stating that there needs to be better padding on these play yards for the babies protection. There were no injuries needing physician assistance. She has not contacted the manufacturer but does intend to contact them.

My granddaughter was playing in a Novashion Baby Playpen. We noticed her putting something in her mouth. It was a zipper tab from the side of the playpen. We got it away before she could choke on it. We have also noticed is when she stands on one side and balances herself, the tubes on the other side become disconnected and create a pinch-point hazard.
