First aid Made Dec 26, 2018, sent to the company Feb 7, 2019, published by CPSC Feb 25, 2019
The product, in the report: Playtime Pals POP-Up Hideaway Hut barcoded 1263411903 PT11903-SHARK. Blue Shark tent. Distributed by Jewett-Cameron Company P.O. Box1010 North Plains, OR 97133
We purchased a Playtime Pals Hideaway Hut some time back for our daughter to play with. She has not used it recently so I decided to put it up. I initially disconnected the bottom fiberglass rod and attempted to fold the tent up multiple times. Each time I was unable to make it small enough to fit into the provided bag. It appeared to be under immense pressure just with folding it once. This included folding and the rods inside crossing. I felt that I needed to attempt something different and safer to secure the tent. The bottom rod is attached with a small metallic tubular piece with no apparent locking mechanism. This initially feel off with my first previously mentioned attempt. I removed this rod completely from the tent in an attempt at putting it up in a safer manner with less stored energy. After removing this piece I was able to fold the tent with the other rods in it twice. This made it small enough to fit into the provided storage bag. I placed it in the bag and left it open. At this point I began to roll up the piece that was removed. I placed the metallic tubular piece to make a solid piece. This piece was coiled up and I was holding it securely in my left hand. I was preparing to place it into the bag provided by the manufacturer. While holding it firmly the coiled piece sprung loose, the metallic tubular piece flew off, and the fiberglass pole struck me in the face with an immense amount of pressure. I was struck across the top of my top lip, then on my left hand. The impact almost immediately caused angioedema to my upper lip. This edema made my top lip almost double in size, causing numbness and pain. Later on I felt prickling on my left hand which I believe to be minute pieces of fiberglass. This narrative was written approximately 45 minuets after the incident occurred. It occurred at approximately 1930 eastern standard time in my den at my home. I was sitting in a revolving office chair when this happened. My family including my three year old daughter were sitting on the couch behind me (my back was to them) when this occurred. I immediately checked them for injuries and luckily they were ok and unharmed. After this occurred I zipped up the provided bag for tent with the tent in it, then I took the other fiberglass rod outside and placed it on the ground near my building for disposal. After this trauma occurred I googled the product, immediately viewing product recall information. We were not informed of any product recall in any way during the time we owned the product.

No one hurt Made Dec 19, 2017, sent to the company Mar 23, 2018, published by CPSC Apr 13, 2018
The product, in the report: Playtime Pals Hideway Hut, Tiger
Playtime Pals Hideaway hut Tiger purchased at Home Depot. When opening the hut and unzipping it from the carrier case, it states to open and then let it pop open. When popping open the metal brackets (couplings) broke off with force and shot out and hit the walls. No injuries, but if the metal objects come in contact with someone it will cause injuries and we were lucky that the glass didn’t break that was hit on a frame. The metal brackets (couplings) broke off and can pose an injury and damage.
