The product, in the report: Playhut: crawl n play
My 15 month old was playing with our playhut Crawl n play tent. He tripped and his upper body fell into the window opening and the little strip of fabric between the window and the crawl through part managed to twist around his neck very tightly as the tent collapsed into itself. My husband was playing with him and immediately tried to free him and was unable to untwist it or tear it as my son who was turning purple and gasping struggled. The piece of fabric was so tight that my son has marks around his neck. Once we determined my son was ok we tried to recreate this scenario with our arms and the fabric continued to twist into itself and tighten as the spring steel loop recoiled into a folding position. We were playing with the tent without the tunnel attached. I still have the tent (although we will not be playing with it) and took pictures of the strangulation marks from the fabric on my sons neck. I emailed playhut on 9/27 and have not heard from them. I am unable to find a number to call them at.i posted my experience in a moms group I am part of and another mom stated this happened to her child as well. If we hadn’t been paying attention this situation could have ended very differently. Thank you.

The product, in the report: Playhut Frozen Classic Hideaway Pop-Up Tent
My 3 year old daughter got a Frozen Classic Hideaway tent for Christmas last year as a gift. It is a pop-up tend design that has flexible wires that make of the frame. This morning, my wife had grabbed the front of the tent above the door to see what my daughter was playing with and something stuck her hand. When she looked at it closer, she saw that one of the metal wires that makes up the frame of the tent had fractured and a sharp point was sticking out of the fabric. The wire was only broken half way through but the broken piece was about 1/2 and inch long and had cut through the fabric. I’ve included photos that show the location of the broken wire, details of the break and a photo of the manufacturing tag.

We got the PlayHut Lil’ Wonders Pull Up Canopy Sun Shade as a baby shower gift. Within 5 minutes my 9 month old had two handfuls of the bottom lining ripped out. I caught him before he choked on it, but the lining is about the same texture as a plastic bag! Also one of the side poles snapped.
