First aid Made May 22, 2024, sent to the company May 28, 2024, published by CPSC Jun 11, 2024
The product, in the report: This line of play gyms is from a company called Finn and Emma (also branded as Finn + Emma or Finn & Emma), a baby toys and apparel company. Our play gym specifically was the Macrame dark one, but all of their variations of gyms appear to be the same wooden arch + metal bolt hardware on the arms.
My 10-month old son choked on and nearly swallowed a metal bolt that came with an infants toy play gym, that had come loose on its own due to the unreliable (and in my carpenter’s opinion, incompatible) hardware that was included in the assembly. He was suddenly choking near the play gym and I had to throw him upside down and perform back thrusts to dislodge it from his airway. Luckily after several tries it came out and he could breathe again. I am an amateur carpenter, so I know nuts and bolts so to say, and upon inspection after the incident I can tell that the included nut and barrel bolt used to fasten the arms of the play gym are not compatible for a tight connection. This is because even when threaded completely into the nut, the bolt still wriggles slightly in place. This means that there is space in the threads and so it lacks the tension required to normally keep hardware from loosening on its own, which it will easily do from even light handling/movement such as a child pulling on the dangling rope accessories, or from a parent moving the gym around. I had fervently tightened the included hardware when I first assembled the gym per the instructions, and it only took a few weeks for the bolt pieces to pop back out and nearly choke my child to death. I was extremely lucky to have intervened before it could have been worse, had he swallowed it completely or asphyxiated, and I hope this company will warn other parents who already have his play gym about the hardware and also work to replace the pieces with ones that won’t unthread themselves and become choking hazards.
