  1. First aid

    Made May 24, 2020, sent to the company Jun 30, 2020, published by CPSC Jul 15, 2020

    The product, in the report: Circo play tent from target. Teepee shapes. Red/orange top with geometric red blue orange yellow white pattern on tent.

    My children were playing with a Target Circo play tent (teepee shapes with a red top and geometric pattern on the fabric) when one of the tent poles broke. My 7 year old grabbed some tape and wrapped it around the pole. He then started complaining about a stinging sensation all over his hands. We’d been playing outside all day and thought he might be overtired and dehydrated.

    About an hour later I (mom) went inside the tent to check the broken pole and make sure it would be okay for the kids to continue playing. I touched it briefly with one hand and felt a sharp sting on my finger. It felt like a sliver. So I took a flashlight to inspect the broken pole to see what it was made of. Looks like some kind of plastic bit with feathery layers to it.

    My husband went inside to inspect the pole and he also for stinging slivers from simply touching the broken pole.

    We figured out that if we shine a flashlight on my son’s hands in a dark room it illuminated the slivers he received from touching this broken pole. There are HUNDREDS of them in his hands, my husband has been pulling them out of his hands for over an hour. I have no idea what this product is made of, but once broken these poles are terrible. Feels like a minuscule metal sliver, of you’ve ever had one of those. They’re tiny clear shards.

    We are going to put gloves on to bag the tent and throw it out and meticulously vacuum the room as soon as the kids are asleep. This stuff is very painful.
