Description

Brand: Baby Maxi

Type/number of model: Wooden playpen Baby Maxi model no. 447;

Barcode: 0000004470007

Description: A hexagonal shaped playpen made of wooden elements, fixed together with hex cap joints designed to enable folding and unfolding in various ways.

Country of origin: China

Danger

Injuries
The playpen poses a risk of injuries due to the lack of a bottom element which thus enables a child to move together with the playpen. This could lead to the risk of the child falling downstairs or receiving burns if he/she approaches hot surfaces around the house.
In addition, the movable junction (hex cap screws) of the wooden construction poses a risk of entrapment between the elements of the playpen.
The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 12227.

Actions Taken

Voluntary recall from consumers and withdrawal from the market.
