The company’s comments, in its own words

(9/29/2022) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Evenflo believes that its track record over almost 28 years and over 6 million units, as well as in-depth investigations by outside experts, conclusively demonstrates that there is not a causal relationship between leg injuries and use of an Evenflo stationary activity center. Additionally, the ExerSaucer Triple Fun stationary activity center fully complies with all applicable safety requirements.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(10/3/2018) Evenflo Company, Inc.: The consumer reported the toy issue to Evenflo contemporaneously to the incident. The toy was replaced. The toys on the Polar Playground meet or exceed all safety requirements under the U.S. toy standard, and the battery area is designed and manufactured to help ensure it is robust enough to avoid breakage or child access. The product should never be used without adult supervision, thus a child would not have the opportunity to contact the batteries themselves before intervention. Evenflo appreciates this consumer reaching out and will continue to monitor feedback to help ensure that the product is safe to use according to the instructions.

The product, in the report: Jumper, exer saucer with a seat that turns 360 degrees. Toys surround the seat on a tray, and it has two hanging toys.

We just bought this saucer on Friday for our almost 8 month old granddaughter. She first used it on Saturday under close supervision. It seemed like she was almost able to tip it over even though she could barely touch the saucer, so we raised it to the next higher position. On Sunday night, even though she was being closely supervised, she pulled herself out of the seat, and fell over the side onto her head. We rushed to her, and she had a large bump and red mark on her head, but other than being scared, she seemed ok. We raised the seat to the highest position again, thinking that if she couldn’t touch the bottom, she wouldn’t be able to push herself over the top. While she was being supervised today, she almost went out on her head again, but this time we got to her before she fell. She is a very small 8 month old, and just was 8 months old yesterday. She was just able to sit up on her own this week, and isn’t crawling or pulling herself up to stand yet. It was very shocking that she was so easily able to pull herself out of the saucer and tip out onto her head. Thankfully she wasn’t seriously injured. We had exersaucers for our two youngest children, and never experienced a safety problem with them in the past, so this is quite shocking.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/14/2017) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Evenflo contacted this consumer to discuss the incident and determine how the child was able to climb out or tip over the Exersaucer product. While it appears this consumer was using the product pursuant to instructions, the unit is designed and tested rigorously for stability and climb out or tip over incidents under federal safety regulations applicable to activity centers. The unit should not become unstable. Evenflo requested the unit be returned for engineering inspection, but the consumer still plans to use the product with the child under adult supervision. The company appreciates the feedback and encourages consumers to contact the company with questions or comments.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/14/2017) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Evenflo contacted this consumer to obtain more information about the incident. The toys on the product are designed to be bendable, yet of a material pliable enough to be handled by an infant using the product. The instructions do note that the product should be used only with supervision, as a young child has the potential to manipulate any toy in a manner that could cause a strike to the head or face. Evenflo was able to provide this consumer with some alternative toys to attach to the saucer tray that the consumer felt would be less inclined to contact her child in the face. All toys on the Evenflo Exersaucers must meet or exceed federal safety standards.

(4/26/2017) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Evenflo values consumer feedback and has made several attempts to contact this consumer to learn more about this incident. We have been unable to reach this consumer. The Exersaucer complies with all applicable government safety standards, including those for stability of the unit. If the springs are properly secured inside the pylons of the Exersaucer pursuant to the instructions, the pylon will not disassemble. Evenflo continues to believe that when properly assembled, the Exersaucer provides a safe way to enhance children’s physical and mental development.

The product, in the report: Exersaucer Triple Fun™ Animal Planet Activity Center

My youngest child is 6-months-old, 18.5 lbs and 27 inches; which is within the age, height and weight restrictions of his exersaucer. He was seated, playing in his exersaucer in a onesie and diaper with no pants playing. When I went to lift him out of the exersaucer his left leg seemed to catch on something and he screamed. I didn’t initially see how he could have scratched himself on his upper thigh. Later the same day he was playing in the exersaucer and once again when I lifted him up his left leg seemed to catch on something and he screamed and cried. I looked under his exersaucer and the design of the bottom part of the plastic portion that holds in the fabric child’s seat has these almost U-shaped cut outs that have rough edges and when my baby lifts his legs up when I pick him up, it allows his bare legs to get caught and scratched. I do have a couple of pictures of my son’s legs extended and pulled up so you can see how easily his legs hit and can get caught in this rough plastic.

The Exersaucer meets or exceeds all applicable governement safety standards, including those for sharp edges and points, as well as Evenflo’s own internal standards. The company has sold millions of units of this basic activity center design and continues to believe that the product is safe for use pursuant to instructions and warnings.

The product, in the report: Evenflo Beach Baby Exersaucer Model 61611369 mfr. date 2015-02-16 PQ 1

As reported to Evenflo (which they informed me “We do not this product anymore” by voicemail.
Chat Conversation Start APR 14TH, 10:48PM I would like to provide some feedback on some of your exersaucers that should be taken seriously. I believe you should consider recalling some of them and replacing one of the attached toys. My son leaned forward in the “Beach” Exersaucer without the stands in place and the cup, yellow orange featured in the picture below became lodged at his neck. It actually choked him and I’m happy that I was supervising hid play at the time because I cannot imagine what may have happened otherwise. He had not exceeded the height limit so I’m sure this could happen to some one else as well. Once is enough. The stands being off only made it more difficult for his body which as a baby he has limited strength, to pull himself back up and off of it. Please take this seriously. We are no longer using this item but I fear from this experience that it could easily end much worse, especially if a parent were unaware, even for a moment. It’s extremely dangerous, a potentially fatal hazard given s babies limited strength, and something that whoever reads this really needs to forward to the appropriate person to handle accordingly. I have not contacted CPSC but I have considered it due to the serious nature of this hazard. I’ve typically been happy with your products and I realize you may be unaware of the danger this particular piece and design poses. Please see the image below, even the pictured baby appears to be right at the right height and position that if she were to lean forward the yellow piece could choke her. It’s a straight plastic line and with the stands off it would be difficult for her to lean herself back off of it. And our experience was terrifying. I realized how easily a child can be can severely injured by a toy. Sadly too many children have suffered loss of life from items that parents thought were perfectly safe for them.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(6/2/2016) Evenflo Company, Inc.: The Exersaucer Day at the Beach has been sold for three years and Evenflo has no record of receiving a complaint similar to the one reported by this consumer. The toys on the stationary activity center, including the bucket toy, all meet or exceed the requirements of the federal toy safety standard, F963-11, which includes a variety of tests to help ensure a child’s safe interaction with the product. This consumer did not provide age or size information about her child to the CPSC or to Evenflo when she contacted the company via social media. That information would be helpful to determine proper usage of the unit, as toy placement on the tray of the unit is based upon the intended user--a baby between 4 months and walking age. While Evenflo continues to believe the product is safe for use by children, the company appreciates that this consumer was following the product’s instructions directing a caregiver never to leave a child unattended in the Exersaucer. Evenflo encourages all consumers with comments or concerns about its products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The product, in the report: Exersaucer - Bouncer

This caller is reporting his 8 month old daughter’s exersaucer/bouncer purchased in December 2014 from local retailer. The caller’s 8 month old daughter was sitting in her exersaucer while the caller/father was sitting next to her with his other daughter when the baby began crying. He jumped up and ran to her and saw that the baby’s finger was caught in lace type rope/string holding the cake toy together. The baby’s finger was swollen and her father had to cut the cords from around the baby’s finger, the father states that he was pretty much in shock but believes that the injury is to the baby’s right thumb. The father treated the baby’s thumb at home and treated her. He has not contacted the manufacturer but does intend to contact them. The caller is asking that the public be warned about the hazards of this product since there are more of these cords/strings on this unit, and that this exersaucer become recalled before other baby’s are injured and that replacement of product be available at manufacturer expense only.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(11/20/2015) Evenflo Company, Inc.: The ribbons which hold the top and bottom layers of the cake toy on the Exersaucer Sweet Tea Party are soft to the touch and attached on each end to the toy itself, so they cannot form a knot to entrap a finger or hand. Moreover, each layer of the cake is attached to the toy base with a separate ribbon--one measures approximately 2 inches in length and the other approximately 3 inches in length. (A photo of the toy is attached showing the layers and ribbons). Each of the two ribbon segments is long enough to allow a child to stack and unstack the cake layers for developmental play, but is much shorter than the federal safety requirement set forth in ASTM F963 section 4.14 Cords Strings and Elastic. That standard dictates that cords, string and elastic must be no more than 12 inches in length. In order for the child’s finger to swell, as described by this consumer, the child would have had to wrap one or both ribbon lengths (with the attached toy) around her finger and then stay in that position for some period of time. Evenflo has no other records of this occurring with the cake toy.
Evenflo contacted this consumer after receiving the CPSC report. Because the father cut the ribbon on the toy and his daughter still plays with the product, the company sent him replacement toys without any ribbons. Evenflo appreciates this consumer’s concern and encourages all consumers with comments or concerns about its products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The product, in the report: Evenflo Doorway jumper. A spring seat that attaches to a door jamb for infants to jump up and down

While using an evenflo doorway jumper at a little over four months old my daughters arm became entangled in the leg hole. This forced her neck directly onto the shoulder support bar and she began to choke. She did not have the coordination to get unstuck. After the incident I double checked the manual’s requirements for use and she fit all of them. I immediately took the product back to the store and contacted the company. Apart from an automatic customer response email they never got back with me. The requirements for this device need to be updated for an older infant.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/4/2015) Evenflo Company, Inc.: This consumer also contacted Evenflo via email, but the communication was inadvertently misrouted. Evenflo was, however, able to locate this consumer’s initial email after receiving notice from the CPSC. Accordingly, Evenflo reached out to her to obtain more information about this unique incident. Evenflo has sold this type of doorway jumper for decades and has no record of a similar incident occurring in this product. Apparently, this child was actually only 3.5 months old when the incident occurred and the child got her arm caught in the leg opening outside her mother’s view. Although the weight and the height of the child was not provided, Evenflo believes that this child was likely too small or not of an appropriate developmental age to be using this product. Several of the product’s warnings discourage such use:
• ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED. NEVER leave child unattended. ALWAYS keep child in view. • ONLY for use by children who are able to hold their head upright unassisted (approximately 4 months of age) AND weighing no more than 24 lbs (10.8 kg). • DO NOT use if child’s armpits are below top of seat in door jumper position.
While Evenflo appreciates the feedback provided by this consumer, the company believes the age, developmental stage and size limitations for this product continue to be appropriate. Moreover, this product conforms to all applicable government safety standards, as well as Evenflo’s internal safety specifications. Evenflo encourages all consumers with comments or concerns about its products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The product, in the report: Evenflo Exersaucer JungleQuest Jumper. Has a 3 post connection in bright lime green colors with animal attachments on top of each post. The post connect to the bouncy seat in the middle using a bungee cord method. the seat in the middle swivels and is surrounded by 6 different activity toys the babies can play with. At the base of seat there is a foamy plate that the babies bounce on and can push off with their feet

my son is 6 months old and weighs 16.5lbs and was bouncing and playing in the exersaucer junglequest jumper early morning like he has done several times before. The jumper has 3 connection polls that use a bungee cord method to attach the poll to the bouncy seat in the middle. As he was bouncing on it, one of the bungee cord connections came off and unattached from the seat in the middle which he was sitting in which made my son fall out of the seat onto the floor and metal circle part that attaches the polls together at the base. His head, face and upper body lay diagonally on the floor and his legs still in the seat. His head and face hit the floor and metal circle at the base. He started screaming and crying. He has never fallen out of anything before. He was very scared and I wasn’t sure if he was hurt or how bad it was. My main concern was that he had hit his head, so I rushed him to the emergency room to have doctors look over him and thank God he’s ok. the doctor just told me to watch him throughout the day for any signs or symptoms due to head trauma. This was a very traumatic experience for my son as well as for myself. I will think twice before ever buying any product from evenflo and definitely will not be recommending any evenflo products. Evenflo should definitely come up with a different method as to attaching the seat to the connection polls because its apparent that there current method cannot hold the connection. I wouldn’t want any other parents to go through this

The company’s comments, in its own words

(2/2/2015) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Evenflo has no record of a child being injured in this manner while playing with the Jungle Quest. The Exersaucer Jump and Learn Jungle Quest, like all Evenflo Exersaucer products, is designed, manufactured and tested to meet or exceed all requirements of ASTM F2012, the federal safety standard for stationary activity centers. F2012 provides performance requirements, test methods and marking requirements to promote safe use of a stationary activity center by an occupant and minimize the risk of injury to an occupant resulting from normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. The standard addresses various aspects of the product, including stability of the unit and product integrity when exposed to certain forces exceeding those that a child in the age range for the product could exert. In this instance, Evenflo has spoken to the consumer and has arranged for the return of the product. An engineering inspection will confirm that the product meets Evenflo’s specifications. Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com. After speaking with Evenflo, this consumer accepted another Exersaucer model to use with her child.

My 4 month old daughter was in the evenflo exersaucer “123teaforme”. She was pulling the hat with the mirror towards her to try and get it in her mouth, with one hand grasping just under the hat and the other hand down by the orange base, her fingers at the bottom of the pink stem in between the 2 round plastic pieces. As she pulled it towards her mouth, her index and middle fingers were pinched between the plastic causing cuts on the top of both fingers, and lots of tears.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/30/2014) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Due to the interactive nature of this activity center, it is not uncommon for children to contact their heads, hands or faces on a new toy as they become familiar with it and how it works. With this in mind, Evenflo designs all activity center toys without sharp edges or other features and materials that could cause injury. Of course, all toys used on Evenflo activity centers are also tested to meet or exceed the federal toy safety standards. This consumer did not provide an email or phone number, so Evenflo will contact her via postal service in Canada to obtain more information about how this incident occurred. Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/18/2014) Evenflo Company, Inc.: When this 5.5 month old child contacted a toy on the Triple Fun activity center toy tray, his mother also called Evenflo. Due to the interactive nature of this activity center, it is not uncommon for children to contact their heads, hands or faces to a new toy as they become familiar with it and how it works. With this in mind, Evenflo designs all activity center toys without sharp edges or other features and materials that could cause injury. Of course, all toys used on its activity centers are also tested to meet or exceed the federal toy safety standards. As this child develops his motor skills, his command of these toys will increase. This consumer had previously used this same activity center with another child due to its exceptional play value and she accepted a replacement toy from Evenflo in this instance in order to continue use of this product. Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The product, in the report: Evenflo ExerSaucer® Double Fun™ Pink Bumbly Saucer

I received an Evenflo ExerSaucer® Double Fun™ Pink Bumbly Saucer as a gift for my daughter whom is just 6 months old now. I am happy with the exersaucer but there is a problem with it that I find very dangerous. On an earlier date I when pulling the baby/infant out of the seat I noticed that her foot was deeply scratched. Not to the point of bleeding, but to the point of discomfort. On the actual date listed, I took the baby/infant out of the exersaucer and her foot was badly scraped/scratched again. I now realize that the ring that holds the fabric seat/sling part has sharp edges and cuts.
I took the seat apart and literally cut my finger on the roller ring due to sharp plastic sticking out and the edges being far too sharp for a baby toy. If they had the seat/sling fabric attach to the ring portion on the inside as well it would eliminate much of the risk. The problem is that the fabric seat/sling attaches on the outside of the ring and when pulling the baby/infant out of the toy it turns inside out exposing the inside of the ring to the baby’s legs while pulling them out.
I feel that this is just bad safety for a baby toy. All plastic edges should be smoothed and made certain that they will not injure a child. I wonder if all the units are made with such disregard for safety. It is clear that this one was sent out knowing it was like this because no one is considering the fact it is a danger while pulling the child out of the toy.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(11/4/2014) Evenflo Company, Inc.: This consumer also notified Evenflo when his child received the scratch, purportedly while being removed from an Evenflo Double Fun Exersaucer. Because this father had already altered the Exersaucer unit by sanding the seat ring liner, Evenflo was unable to investigate the allegation further by inspecting the unit or reviewing a photograph of the rough area on the seat ring. Evenflo has utilized this type of seat ring on hundreds of thousands of Exersaucers. Those Exersaucers are typically used hundreds of times in the hands of consumers, and each use requires a caregiver to remove the child from the unit as described by this consumer. Evenflo has never seen a trend of complaints on this issue and believes this situation was isolated. The unit meets all federal safety standards for stationary activity centers, as well as Evenflo’s internal standards for various aspects of the product, including sharp edges and small parts. Nevertheless, Evenflo acknowledges that a single unit could have been manufactured which exhibited minimal flash (or extra plastic) at a seam where two parts were sealed together. Accordingly, this report has been forwarded to the manufacturing facility to ensure the highest quality production in the future.
Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback or questions about Evenflo products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The pillars popped out of the base of the exersaucer and the lower portions fell inward while the weight of the upper portion of the exersaucer and my daughteds weight fell down nearly crushing her lower body. Shes not incredibly active so she doesnt stree the locking tabs as my son had done with the one we bought for him. Im a mechanic and insist on double checking my work when assembling everything. Approximately 3 months have passed with this object was being used. I ensured the tabs and other locking mechanisms where properly in place befor use, and as I had put it back together when it broke, the tabs would not lock, then it fell apart without the babys weight. This product is unsafe as the structural design is only made to last a short time period. Please figure this situation out befor any children get hurt.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/15/2014) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Although this consumer did not provide specific product information, the Exersaucer activity centers are all designed and tested by a third party to ensure they meet the structural integrity and stability requirements of the ASTM F2012 and applicable federal safety standards. A properly assembled pylon locked into place will not fold during use, as described by this consumer. Evenflo does not believe that the Exersaucer presents a safety hazard to children when properly assembled and used pursuant to the instructions provided with the product. Evenflo is unable to contact this consumer, however, as he did not provide contact information; so the company is unable to inspect the product or investigate this incident further.
Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback or questions about the use and proper assembly of our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The product, in the report: Excersaucer triple fun

This excersaucer has three stages. The third stage is for an older baby that can stand and play with toys. The toy turns into an a S shaped platform on 4 legs. When my daughter played with it it has tipped over on two occasions. I have looked online and found many other people that had the same problem and was to make home fixes. When I called evenflow they told me “ the child should not put their weight on it”, in theory that makes sense but explain that to a 14 month old baby, not very realistic to expect a baby to not lean on a toy while playing. This should not be on the market

The company’s comments, in its own words

(4/21/2014) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Evenflo appreciates the opportunity to address this consumer’s concerns about the stability of her child’s Exersaucer® Triple Fun Activity Center. The use of the Triple Fun in Stage Three, which is a free-standing activity table, is reserved for children who are already standing and walking without assistance; it is not intended for use by children who are relying on the product to help pull them up to a standing position or to support them while they are standing. Moreover, the product is verified by an independent third-part laboratory to meet all ASTM stability standards when used pursuant to the instructions. Evenflo believes that the Exersaucer Triple Fun Activity Center is safe to use when properly assembled and used pursuant to the instructions. Evenflo was contacted by this consumer and the proper use of the product was discussed. We appreciate this consumer’s comments and encourage consumer feedback on all of our products at 1-800-233-5921 or at www.evenflo.com.

The product, in the report: Hard plastic, children’s activity center with small detachable parts

The baby was bouncing in the activity center (set in the rocking mode) when suddenly the baby leaned forward and the tray tilted over. The baby came out flying out of the activity center. He fell on the floor face down, hitting his forehead and losing his breath. The baby’s grandmother picked him up and started blowing air into his face. “The consumer specifically indicated that she blew breaths of air over the baby’s face.” After a few moments the baby stated to breathe again. The baby had a big bump on the left side of the forehead. The consumer proceeded to take the baby to Saint Christopher’s Children’s Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, right after the incident. The doctor diagnosed the baby with a mild concussion.
The consumer will provide more medical information when she receives the report for her review. Notes: This product has been recalled (CAP# 09-131) according to the model number and when it was manufactured. The incident type is different from the ones described in the recall notice, since the activity center tilted over.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(4/24/2014) Evenflo Company, Inc.: This consumer also contacted Evenflo directly regarding her grandson’s experience in the Exersaucer Triple Fun stationary activity center. The consumer confirmed that the unit itself did not tip over, but the child fell out of the unit. After speaking with this consumer, Evenflo learned that the child was tall enough that he was standing flat-footed in the unit.
The Triple Fun stationary activity center fully complies with all of the stability requirements of ASTM F2012-13, when used in accordance with the product instructions and warnings. The instructions for the product warn: “During use, allow the baby’s toes only to touch the base. DO NOT allow the baby to stand flat-footed on the base. As baby grows and becomes more active, raise the tray to the next level so that baby enjoys the most comfortable fit and maximum use of the rock, spin, and bounce features. Stop using the ExerSaucer when your child can stand flat-footed when adjusted to its highest level.” A flat-footed child can gain the leverage to climb or fall out of the unit (as occurred here), or even tip over the entire unit. When used in accordance with the instructions, the Triple Fun does not present a safety hazard.
Evenflo encourages all consumers who have feedback about our products or questions about assembly and proper usage to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or on the web at www.evenflo.com.

The locks that lock the legs in plac e at stage 3 DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. It was bought for my 6 month old where there is also a 2 year old in the house. The two of them played with it for 15 minutes and it had fallen down and the 6 month old was crawling underneath when it happened. She got pretty badly hurt and we took the toy away to ensure it was put together properly again. My sister owned the same unit for the 2 year old in the house and had no issues with it that is why I bought the same model. We got the locks to finally lock and STAY LOCKED but after a few days we seen small springs beneath the table. THESE CAME OUT OF THE LOCKS THE CHILDREN COULD HAVE CHOKED ON THEM. We decided for the safety of the children not to let them use it anymore and turn it back into stage 2 instead of stage 3. At that time the monkey toy snapped off the plastic clipping that is attached to the bar was half inside the toy and half outside the toy with sharp pieces of plastic on the ends. Upon taking the toy off we seen inside that the spring that holds the legs up and gives the children the ability to jump was warped and pushed off the she side. THIS TOY IS TERRIBLE MY CHILD HAS OWNED IT FOR LESS THEM 6 MONTHS AND I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE AFTER THIS. THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABUT WHAT IS BEING DONE. I WILL NEVER EVEN BUY THERE PRODUCTS AGAIN AFTER THE INJURIES MY CHILD HAS HAD FROM THIS TOY.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/11/2013) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Evenflo contacted this consumer upon notice from the CPSC of her reported concern that a leg on her Evenflo® Three-in-One Exersaucer activity center folded in Stage 3. Evenflo learned that the unit was purchased as a display model out of the box and already assembled in Stage 2. When the consumer’s 2-year-old niece came to visit, the unit was converted to a Stage 3 play table. The consumer acknowledged that she was uncertain about proper leg assembly in Stage 3 and consulted the Evenflo website for additional guidance. The facts of the incident suggest that one of the legs was not properly locked into place with an audible click and ultimately folded when the 2-year old was playing with the product, at which time the consumer’s 8-month-old (who was crawling under it) received a scratch on her leg. The springs that were later located likely released from the leg when the unit folded.
This activity center meets or exceeds applicable safety regulations, including those requirements for stability found in ASTM F2012, when assembled and used in accordance with the product instructions. Although it appears that incomplete assembly for Stage 3 caused this occurrence, Evenflo resolved this consumer’s concerns and arranged for return of the unit for inspection to ensure the unit’s compliance with our stringent specifications. Contrary to this consumer’s report, the monkey toy has no clip, but rather is permanently attached to slide along the toy bar (see forefront of attached photo), and subjected to various abuse tests (drop, torque and tension testing) per the federal toy standard, ASTM F963. The toy will also be inspected upon return to ensure compliance with Evenflo’s specifications.
Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback or questions about Evenflo products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

With in seconds he started to cry. he had pinched his fingers between the blocks. I soothed him & let him try again thinking it was a fluke. With in a few seconds he did it again. I removed the building. Then he chose to play with the kite. he grabbed hold of it & was about to stick it in his mouth when he lost his grip & it popped him in the nose, resulting in a bloody nose. I returned it to target. 3 minutes of play resulting in 3 injuries is insane.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(3/7/2013) Evenflo Company, Inc.: A grandmother reported to the CPSC that her grandson incurred minor injuries while playing with a couple of toys on an Evenflo® Exersaucer® she had purchased for him earlier in the day. Due to the interactive nature of this activity center, it is likely that this child would have quickly developed the motor skills necessary to master the toys on the toy tray. It is not uncommon for children to contact their heads, hands or faces to a new toy as they become familiar with it and how it works. With this in mind, Evenflo designs (in collaboration with the Child Development Institute) all Exersaucer toys without sharp edges or other features and materials that could cause injury. Of course, all toys used on Exersaucer activity centers are tested to meet or exceed the federal toy safety standards.
Evenflo contacted this consumer to obtain more information about the incident and the consumer appreciated the company’s interest in her comments. Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(3/8/2013) Evenflo Company, Inc.: This consumer contacted Evenflo and the CPSC regarding a complaint of detaching pylon legs on an Evenflo® Mega Exersaucer® activity center. No child was using the unit at the time. The company has made several attempts to retrieve this product for inspection, but has been unsuccessful in retrieving the unit from the consumer. The release of the internal spring from the pylons (which gives the activity center its bouncing capability) is consistent with an incomplete assembly per the instructions provided with the product. The Mega Exersaucer activity center is designed and tested by a third party to ensure the product meets the structural integrity and stability requirements of the ASTM F2012 safety standard. A properly assembled pylon locked into the activity center tray will not detach or release the inner spring. Evenflo does not believe that the Mega Exersaucer presents a safety hazard to children when properly assembled and used pursuant to the instructions provided with the product.
Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback or questions about the use and proper assembly of our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

SUBJECT: Evenflo exersaucer 3 in 1 (A 3 stage toy - meant to grow with baby)
I have had numerous issues with this product.
I did not use stage 1, as the arch over the child moves very easily. i dont know that it can be dangerous as i simply preferred not to use it.
The exersaucer stage is great - except for 2 things: 1) The sound/music level of the toys is very high - even on the lowest setting. I cannot imagine that it does not damage a baby’s hearing. 2) There is a dragonfly toy that the baby can pull at. This poses a risk of injury to baby’s face, as baby movements are ‘jerky’ & they can easily hurt themselves with the edges of the dragonfly wings. Its especially scary when it comes close to the eyes)
The stage 3 walking stage is HORRIBLE & VERY DANGEROUS!!!! Besides for the same issues above (as it uses the exact same toys): 1) It is EXTREMELY SHAKY and FALLS ON TOP OF CHILD when tries to stand up against it [this happened to my child TWICE in just the first couple days of changing to this stage] 2) the ‘locks’ (that are meant to keep the legs from turning or collapsing) have tabs that stick out. If a child even lightly presses these tabs (can EASILY be done accidentally, just while paying with the toy), the tab will fall ALONG WITH A SMALL SPRING that is 100% - a CHOKING HAZARD!!!!!!! This toy MUST be recalled BEFORE it claims the lives of innocent children!!!!!!!!!! [this happened a couple times too - altho Thank G-d a million times over - I saw it happen immediately & was able to take away from my child]
Needless to say, after only a couple days, we already dis-assembled this product!

The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/31/2013) Evenflo Company, Inc.: Evenflo appreciates the opportunity to address this consumer’s concerns about her child’s Exersaucer® Triple Fun Jungle Activity Center. Evenflo located its record of the consumer’s contact with the company. No injuries were reported in connection with this consumer’s use of the product and Evenflo was able to address the consumer’s product concerns.
The consumer raised numerous unrelated concerns about each of the product’s three stages of playing and learning. The consumer was advised that decibel levels of all sound-emitting toys used on this saucer are tested to meet federal safety standards and Evenflo’s more stringent internal standards for noise level. Moreover, the toys used with this product, including the dragonfly, all must meet external and internal standards for sharp edges, to minimize the consequence of a child forcibly contacting the toys during play.
As far as the consumer’s stage three stability concerns, it is important to understand that use of the product in stage three is reserved for children who are already standing and walking, and not for those who are relying on the product to assist in pulling up to a standing position. The product is verified by an independent third-part laboratory to meet all ASTM stability standards when used pursuant to the instructions. The consumer’s concern regarding the leg spring and a possible choking hazard was determined to arise from the consumer’s misassembly of the legs of the unit, such that the legs and associated tabs were not properly seated and locked. The instruction manual highlights the importance of checking that the legs are locked in place before using the product in this stage. As she was advised, a properly assembled unit will not allow a child to activate the tabs and access the internal springs of the product. In fact, Evenflo does not have any reports of a child placing that part in his or her mouth, despite having sold hundreds of thousands of this type of saucer.
Consumer feedback and Evenflo’s testing records for this product do not corroborate this consumer’s concerns. Evenflo believes that the Exersaucer Triple Fun Jungle Activity Center is safe to use when properly assembled and used pursuant to the instructions. We do appreciate this consumer’s feedback, however, and encourage consumer feedback on our products at 1-800-233-5921 or at www.evenflo.com.

A removable, machine washable seat pad in a farm print provides for easy cleaning. Three height adjustments accommodate the growing baby.

My INFANT daughter was playing in her EVENFLO EXERSAUCER MEGA SPLASH ACTIVITY CENTER. She was turning and bouncing in it like she always does and one of the top legs came off of the top base-causing her to fall forward. Thankfully i was there to catch her and she wasnt hurt. There is no hardware included or required to assemble this product. The bottom of the legs attach to the base pretty securely. They pop in and sort of click in place. The top part of the leg attaches by matching it up with a notched section on the top, pushing against the spring, and turning it so it doesn’t line up with the notched part. There is not anything that fastens it, or prevents it from turning back the way it went in. After the incident I decided to search any recalls for this product AND THERE ARENT ANY- but there are quite a few people who have had the same thing happen with their child. Look at these reviews:
HEALTH RISK! Danger to your child, December 19, 2010 By [REDACTED] - See all my reviews This review is from: Evenflo Splash Mega Exersaucer (Baby Product) I bought this for my son when he was about 5 months old. It worked fine, for about a month, when he was just starting out. He (like most other baby boys) is an active little boy. When he would start bouncing in the exersaucer the legs would begin to re-align so that the tabs would unhook and the top part of the saucer would become disconnected with the leg. Two of the legs did this WHILE HE WAS IN IT! He was only 6 months at this time and thank goodness he didnt get hurt but the top part falls down (diagonally to the floor) allowing the baby to fall forward. It is a serious health risk and I’m so thankful and surprised he did not get hurt. My husband thought it was a fluke, put it back together and the next day after numerous bounces once again it fell apart literally! Right while he was in it. It was well put together, there was no issue with installing it properly. It was not defective in any way. Bought brand new from the store. Its just after a few days of bouncing in the chair the orange pieces spin just enough to align themselves perfectly to become dis-joined. No wrongful use of the saucer to cause it to come off. Just poor manufacturing. I recommend to buy something where the top half connects to the bottom without a simple align & twist. Maybe a snap together instead. I got the [REDACTED]and we’ve been happy ever since.
1.0 out of 5 stars Dangerous--leg collapsed, April 20, 2011 By [REDACTED] - See all my reviews This review is from: Evenflo Splash Mega Exersaucer (Baby Product) Our 5 month old daughter loved playing in this but one day one of the blue caps popped off, the spring went flying, and the leg collapsed. Luckily I was standing right there and my daughter was not injured, but she really could have been hurt! I would not recommend this product--it’s not worth the risk of injury.
Newer model isn’t as good - missing feet!, June 30, 2011 By [REDACTED] - See all my reviews This review is from: Evenflo Splash Mega Exersaucer (Baby Product) I was totally swayed by the new colors and fun toys for this exersaucer. I had the farmyard one for my daughter 3 years ago and loved it so much. I had shared it with friends and lost track of it, so when it came time to get one for my 5 month old, I chose this one. I was so excited by it, but quickly realized it wasn’t as good at the older models.
First off, it doesn’t have stabilizing feet. It is way too wobbly for a younger baby. I ended up buying feet from ebay to fit onto my Evenflo Splash Mega Saucer. Those worked a little better, but they aren’t perfect. Why would this product have space for the feet, but not have them? I hate how toy/baby companies do that. They lure you in with a product and then get cheap on you, by removing features.
Secondly, the older model collapsed. They may not do that anymore as a safety measure, but I liked that we could take in our car to our friends’ homes.
Thirdly, we had a 6 month old baby come over last weekend to play and we put him in it. He managed to rip out the switch-a-roos. The only one that didn’t rip out was the apple switch-a-roo that we bought as an addition. That never happened with our older model farm exersaucer.
So disappointed. Hope this helps!
Looks great, but its a bad product., October 25, 2011 By [REDACTED] - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Evenflo Splash Mega Exersaucer (Baby Product) I bought this product for my 5 month old son because it looked really nice in the pictures and my son loves playing with toys and jumping. When I received it, we set it up and it worked well for maybe about a month and then my son starting jumping in it and one of the blue caps popped out went down, and its NOT safe for your baby to be in if there is a older child around that likes to mess with things and who are curious about pushing buttons. My niece was curious about it and pushed it, and went down easily. I prefer something that is child proof. Also one of the springs came off. Also when he was playing in it, I noticed that he tore one of the paper labels and was chewing on it, I took it away. I think they really fix stuff on here especially the legging and the paper labels. I think its better of buying something else more expensive then buying this product because your baby could get hurt or swallow one of the paper labels.
Waste of money!, June 14, 2011 By [REDACTED] - See all my reviews This review is from: Evenflo Splash Mega Exersaucer (Baby Product) I had this for 6 mos and all 3 springs, (which helps the toy bounce) popped out. So angry. I would give it 0 stars if I could.
my baby chews the paper labels, October 9, 2011 By [REDACTED] - See all my reviews This review is from: Evenflo Splash Mega Exersaucer (Baby Product) My baby has been using it for a couple months now. Everything worked well except yesterday I noticed that she had eaten some of the paper labels on one of the toys. I can still feel the glue on it. I don’t know what the papers and glue are made of. Please be careful with it if you plan to get one.
This was great until it collapsed with my baby in it, April 3, 2012 By [REDACTED] - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Evenflo Splash Mega Exersaucer (Baby Product) First let me say that it was definitely assembled properly, and my son has used it and loved it since Christmas without incident (so about 3 months). This has several pieces, including the top, the legs, and the base. The legs contain springs which make it potentially very bouncy if you have an enthusiastic baby (which I do). The bottom of the legs attach to the base pretty securely. They pop in and sort of click in place. The top part of the leg attaches by matching it up with a notched section on the top, pushing against the spring, and turning it so it doesn’t line up with the notched part. There is not anything that fastens it, or prevents it from turning back the way it went in.
I think this is what happened--after some use with an occasionally enthusiastically bouncing baby, the piece at the top turned slowly and worked its way back toward the notched opening. Luckily I was 2 feet away when it happened and he wasn’t hurt, but one leg popped off entirely, one detached from the top and one detached from the base. It would have been pretty ridiculous if it wasn’t so alarming--the thing just quite literally fell apart with him in it. The leg that stayed attached to the base was a few inches from hitting him in the face with rough edges as he fell. He could easily have had a leg pinned in the wrong direction and had it hurt by the weight of his body pulling down on the top. What a disaster. He was terrified but unhurt, thankfully.
If you buy this for your child, please periodically check under the top to make sure the legs have not twisted back toward the notch in the top to prevent this from happening again!
PIECE OF [REDACTED] ...DANGEROUS...DON’T UNDERSTAND ALL THESE GREAT REVIEWS!, July 8, 2010 By [REDACTED] - See all my reviews This review is from: Evenflo Splash Mega Exersaucer (Baby Product) I bought this exersaucer just yesterday after giving the Evenflo Smart Steps to my in-laws since they watch my son during the day. He’s now 6 months old. We put it together, did everything right (I’m a nervous new mom and VERY careful) and one of the legs collapsed and my son nearly got hurt. I have trust in Evenflo since I love the Smart Steps Exersaucer but not any more!!! I returned it and exchanged it for another one thinking, maybe this particular one is just defective....but this one collapsed as well!!!! Same thing, one of the legs just came loose. Again, my son was almost seriously hurt! I cannot even believe they have this on the shelves. I’ll be calling Evenflo to complain and make them aware of the danger involved with this product! Please spend a little more and get a different one for the safety of your child!

Incident, No Injury

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/10/2012) Evenflo Company, Inc.: This consumer reported to the CPSC that the top half of a two-piece pylon supporting her child’s Evenflo Exersaucer® Mega Splash™ Activity Center separated from the tray, causing her child playing in the unit to fall forward. The child was not injured. The consumer stated that although the lower half of the three pylons supporting the Mega Splash was sturdily attached to the base of the unit, she felt as if the top half of the pylon assembly was less secure. This consumer also included in her database report several online reviews she purportedly located about the Mega Splash. (Notably, several of these complaints are unrelated to pylon attachment issues). Upon receipt of the CPSC report, Evenflo contacted this consumer to obtain additional information and to request return of the activity center for inspection.
Although the consumer agreed to return the activity center, Evenflo has not yet received it or had an opportunity to inspect the product. Evenflo has sold this type of activity center for years and, through contact with consumers, as well as product inspections, has determined that a complaint of this type is often the result of an incorrect assembly, whereby the top half of the pylon is incompletely housed in the tray when installed by the consumer. Based on prior testing of this model to the structural integrity and stability requirements of voluntary safety standard ASTM F2012, addressing seat tilt and tip-over concerns, and the inspection of other units, Evenflo has concluded that this product does not present a safety hazard when properly assembled. Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/17/2012) Evenflo Company, Inc.: This consumer reported to the CPSC and Evenflo (via e-mail) that her 6-month-old son has twice caught his arm in between the bird toys on the tray of his Exersaucer® Triple Fun Activity Center. The child was not injured. Evenflo has made further attempts to talk to this consumer, but has been unable to do so and, therefore, has no further information beyond the consumer’s initial e-mail.
The toys on the Triple Fun meet all requirements of the ASTM F963 toy standard, including those for minimum clearances and openings. This occurrence is likely not related to the Triple Fun’s design, but related to the developmental stage of this young child and an inability to understand how to remove his arm from the openings in the toy. The report does not indicate a potential product hazard and Evenflo continues to believe that the product is safe for use from birth to approximately 24 months. Evenflo encourages all consumers with feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or www.evenflo.com.

9-month old baby falls out of Evenflo Exersaucer Mega, manufactured on Feb. 1, 2007. Baby was on tippy toes and leaned herself over and fell out. Baby hit head on the floor, luckily diagnosed at the ER with minor acute closed head injury. Baby is 28” tall.
This product unit does not have any indication printed on it as to when baby must discontinue use of product based on baby’s height. The only information printed is to discontinue when baby is walking.
Product manual says to discontinue when baby is over 30” tall or can stand flat-footed in the unit.
I want to alert the manufacturer to change their guidelines for when baby must discontinue using product based on height. This product is already dangerous to a baby 28” tall!
Also, manufacturer MUST PRINT ON THE PRODUCT ITSELF VERY CLEARLY WHEN TO DISCONTINUE PRODUCT BASED ON HEIGHT. (revised guidelines to 28” tall.)

The company’s comments, in its own words

(6/18/2012) Evenflo Company, Inc.: The consumer reported to the CPSC that her child fell out of an Evenflo ExerSaucer® Mega stationary activity center and bumped her head. As verified by an independent third-party laboratory, however, the ExerSaucer Mega stationary activity center fully complies with all of the stability and tip-over requirements of ASTM F2012 when used in accordance with the product instructions and warnings. After learning of this report, Evenflo contacted the consumer to gather more information to determine how the incident occurred. Contrary to the information in the CPSC report, the consumer told Evenflo that her child was unattended when the incident occurred and that she had been using the activity center at a height setting which allowed her daughter to stand flat-footed in the unit. The instructions and product labels warn against both (i) leaving children unattended and; and (ii) allowing a child to be flatfooted in the unit, as either can lead to injury or permit a child access to potential household hazards if able to climb out of the activity center. Despite the guidance provided by the on-product labels and the instructions regarding flat footedness and precisely when a child should discontinue use of the product, this product was being used at the middle height adjustment when the incident occurred and could have been elevated to the highest position to permit continued use by a child properly tip-toed in the unit. Based on the consumer’s statements to Evenflo, the company concludes that the consumer was using the product contrary to stated warnings. By permitting her unattended child to be flat-footed in the activity center, this consumer created a situation in which her child had sufficient leverage to climb out of the activity center.
Evenflo encourages all consumers who have feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or on the web at www.evenflo.com.

While the 17 pound five month old infant was sitting in the excersaucer the three legs popped out of place from underneath him causing the exceraucer to collapse.
The consumer removed him immediately and there were no injuries sustained. The excersaucer has three plastic legs and three pegs used to adjust the height of the excersaucer.
The excersaucer was used at the lowest height when the peg’s on each leg apparently popped out of place causing the legs to collapse.
The firm was contacted on 3/5/2012 and was advised that they would send out a box from the consumer to mail the excersaucer back for evaluation. The consumer stated that they also offered her a full refund.
The consumer has decided to discontinue the use of the excersaucer and has not made any final decisions on whether to mail it back into the firm or not.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(4/10/2013) Evenflo Company, Inc.: This consumer contacted Evenflo approximately a year ago about the incident involving her son’s Exersaucer Mega Splash™ Activity Center. Evenflo is not aware of a circumstance where a properly assembled stationary activity center would collapse in the manner described in this CPSC report, as it would require all three legs of the center to detach from both the base of the unit and the upper toy tray simultaneously. Moreover, each of the leg assemblies has a locking tab to ensure proper assembly and stability. The Mega Splash activity center fully complies with all of the stability requirements of ASTM F2012 when used in accordance with the product instructions and warnings.
When this consumer contacted Evenflo, she reported that she was using the saucer in its lowest height position and that her son was standing flat-footed in the unit. The instructions for the product warn: “During use, allow the baby’s toes only to touch the base. DO NOT allow the baby to stand flat-footed on the base. As baby grows and becomes more active, raise the tray to the next level so that baby enjoys the most comfortable fit and maximum use of the rock, spin, and bounce features. Stop using the ExerSaucer when your child can stand flat-footed when adjusted to its highest level.” A flat-footed child can gain the leverage necessary to (i) cause instability (ii) detach a part, or (iii) allow him/her to climb out, essentially defeating the intended purpose and design of the product.
Despite Evenflo’s attempts to arrange return and inspection of this product, the consumer declined to return the activity center. Evenflo encourages all consumers who have feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or on the web at www.evenflo.com.

After about 5 minutes of play the straps on the hanger pulled out of the seat, causing my baby to fall face first, smashing his face and head onto our tile floors. We were advised to go to the emergency room by his Pcp and so we did so. After hours and a CT scan later, we learned our son was okay. It could have been a lot worse and i will never put my child or any other child i know in this bouncer again! Until the straps are perfected this toy should be recalled!

The company’s comments, in its own words

(2/3/2012) Evenflo Company, Inc.: The consumer reported to the CPSC that the hanger straps attached to her child’s doorway jumper, an Evenflo Johnny Jump Up®, pulled out after several minutes of use, and her child fell from the seat hanging in the lower portion of the doorway to the ground. After learning of the report, Evenflo contacted the consumer and determined that she did not correctly assemble the Johnny Jump Up straps to the tubular frame prior to using it with her child, allowing the straps to pull away from the frame with only a few minutes of use. The consumer was instructed as to the correct assembly method over the phone and this appears to have resolved her issue with the product. This misassembled condition should be apparent to the caregiver, and correct assembly can and should be checked prior to each use by pulling up on each strap, as shown in the product instructions. Based on the information provided by this consumer and years of successful testing and real-world experience with this type of doorway jumper, Evenflo does not believe that the Johnny Jump Up represents a safety hazard to children.
Evenflo encourages all consumers who have feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or on the internet at www.evenflo.com.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(2/3/2012) Evenflo Company, Inc.: The consumer purchased an Evenflo stationary activity center, the ExerSaucer® 1-2-3 Tea for Me™, at a yard sale. After assembling the product without the benefit of instructions, she reported to the CPSC that the legs of the unit collapsed. Upon learning of the report, Evenflo contacted the consumer to obtain more information. Apparently, the consumer assembled the used stationary activity center based only upon the illustration on the packaging, which features a fully-assembled product. In addition, the consumer declined Evenflo’s offer to provide her with the instruction manual for her product. Moreover, no information was provided to Evenflo by the consumer about the child’s height, weight and ability to walk to determine whether the child was in the appropriate age range for using the product. The consumer informed Evenflo that the subject stationary activity center is no longer being used, and supplied the company with photographs of it in a disassembled state.
Based upon the statements by this consumer, the alleged incident appears to have been caused by her misassembly of the product without the benefit of the product instructions, which are available free of charge via our toll-free phone number and our website (notably, this contact information is printed on the packaging and on a label on the base of the product itself). In consideration of the available information as well as third-party testing demonstrating compliance of the ExerSaucer 1-2-3 Tea for Me stationary activity center with the applicable safety standards and regulations, Evenflo does not believe that this product represents a safety hazard to children.
Evenflo encourages all consumers who have feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921 or on the internet at www.evenflo.com.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/21/2011) Evenflo Company, Inc.: The consumer reported to the CPSC and separately to Evenflo that her 6-month-old child was able to pull a toy from the tray of his ExerSaucer® Triple Fun™ stationary activity center. The child subsequently struck himself in the face with the toy, receiving a red mark but no injury.
By design, the toys on the Triple Fun are intended to be removable so that their positions can be changed by the caregiver to vary the toy selection for the child and children can continue to play with the toys when away from the unit. Because the toys are not permanently affixed to the Exersaucer tray, Evenflo subjects each toy to safety testing both in and out of the tray. As verified by third party laboratories, the toys on the Triple Fun meet the federal test requirements for toys, including the test requirements for sharp edges and points. Additionally, once separated from the tray, these plastic toys are no different than other handheld toys that might be provided to a child of this age, who, when developing hand-to-eye coordination, may have occasion to strike a toy to his or her face or body. Based on this, the company does not believe that the toys on the ExerSaucer Triple Fun stationary activity center present a hazard to children
Evenflo appreciates the detailed information provided by this consumer, and encourages all consumers who have feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 800-233-5921 or at www.evenflo.com.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/18/2011) Evenflo Company, Inc.: The consumer reported to Evenflo and the CPSC that the pylons on his child’s ExerSaucer® Double Fun™ detached from the tray, causing the unit to collapse. Evenflo appreciates the detailed information provided by this consumer and encourages all consumers who have feedback about our products to contact our ParentLink consumer resource center at 1-800-233-5921.
The Exersaucer was returned to the company for inspection. The consumer had marked on the unit how the pylons were oriented relative to the tray. From these markings, Evenflo determined its assembly instructions had not been followed in that the pylons were not completely assembled to the tray by the consumer. This condition, coupled with the fact that the child was playing in the unit flatfooted, which is contrary to Evenflo’s use recommendation that the child should be on tip toes only, likely led to the detachment. During Evenflo’s inspection of the unit, the pylons were readily assembled to the tray per the instructions and the unit was found to be stable with the pylons locked in position. Based on prior testing of this product to structural integrity and stability requirements of ASTM standard F2012 and the inspection of the returned Exersaucer, Evenflo does not believe that this product represents a safety hazard when properly assembled.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(6/9/2011) Evenflo Company, Inc.: The consumer reported that the ends of a cloth ribbon on the alligator toy from Evenflo’s ExerSaucer® Triple Fun™ detached from the toy. The alligator toy is comprised of several parts that attach to each other via cloth ribbons to allow a child to stack and unstack the toy parts, helping develop important skills such as hand-eye coordination. Evenflo has sold more than a hundred thousand units of the Triple Fun, and has received only one other similar report. Importantly, no injury was alleged in connection with either report. All toys on Evenflo’s Triple Fun meet mandatory government safety standards, as demonstrated by third-party testing. For these reasons, we do not believe that this report suggests a potential product hazard.
Please note that contact information was not provided with the report to permit the company to assess this allegation beyond what was contained in the original CPSC database report. Evenflo encourages consumers to contact its ParentLink consumer service center at 1-800-233-5921 with any questions and concerns about Evenflo products.
