The product, in the report: Disney’s Frozen No-Floor 4’ x 3’ Tent by Exxel Outdoors Style # D-4SLGFRZ9A

My 3 year old daughter was playing in the tent. While playing with the tent, she lifted it up and over her head. On the bottom of the tent front side there is an elastic string. As she was playing the elastic string became wrapped around her body. As she struggled to free herself from the string, the string became tighter and made its way up her body to being wrapped around her neck.

The play tent identified in the incident has retail packaging with an age label for use by Ages 4+ while the report involves a child Aged 3. Product is not intended for use by children under Age 4.

The product, in the report: Star Wars play tent

My children were playing in the star wars tent purchased from Target (Exxel Outdoors). The tent had a strap that went along the front of the tent. This strap ended up wrapped around my daughter’s neck causing injury with a scar. This could have easily choked and killed her if I wasn’t right there watching. I have reported this to the company and sent them the tent (after we cut the strap). Their reply was that were unable to find any manufacturing defect to the product.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/18/2016) EXXEL OUTDOORS, INC.: Exxel Outdoors takes product safety incidents very seriously. The play tent’s retail package contains age labeling for use by children Age 4+. Product is not intended for use by younger children, such as reported in the product safety incident. The play tent contains two warnings: (1) To be assembled and disassembled by adults only, and (2) Not to allow children to assemble or disassemble the product. Once properly assembled, the webbing’s position along the front base provides taunt stability to the tent and is not loose to pose a safety hazard for children at play. The incident described is the first report of any concern relating to the webbing and Exxel Outdoors will monitor for any future occurrence. However, the unfortunate incident has circumstances unforeseeable in the intended use of the product, by a child younger than the product was designed for. Exxel Outdoors has made contact with the consumer but information remains vague as to how the incident occurred, nor could we conclude if product was assembled or disassembled at the time of incident. From our experience and records we cannot foresee the webbing in a properly assembled tent to pose a hazard.

The product, in the report: Kids dome tent 5x4

This tent has very weak fibergalss poles. My daughter enjoyed it in the house until one of the poles failed. The pole is fiberglass and when it broke it became a sharp dagger. When i tried to remove he pole, the broken end went though my hand, leaving a painful open wound. Ths is marketed to children and it could have easily been my daughters eye, or worse.
This is a dangerous item for children.
