The product, in the report: Guidecraft 4-in-1 Dramatic Play Theater Toy
I had just bought my small sons ( aged 2 and 4) the Guidecraft 4-in-1 Dramatic Play Theater Toy for Christmas. After setting it up, they played with it for a few hours. I was in the next room when I heard my four-year-old scream. I ran in to the living room to find him underneath the theatre which had collapsed and broken into many pieces, the heaviest still on my son when I entered. He was injured enough to complain for the day, but not seriously hurt. He was bruised a fair bit. I realize now that I should have reported it immediately, but at the time we did not give my son the benefit of the doubt and thought he must have been rough enough with the product to knock it over. When we asked him what happened, he said that he just bumped into it while playing and the whole thing tipped and broke. We tried to fix the product but couldn’t as it was not solid wood, and had been shuffling the pieces around the house for over a year hoping to try again and fix it successfully when I heard about the recall from the store that sold it to us. My mother-in-law works at the store that sold it and after two men came to the store explaining about the recall, she called me immediately.

First aid Made Mar 21, 2012, sent to the company Mar 29, 2012, published by CPSC Apr 19, 2012
The product, in the report: Dramatic Play Theater
The play theater tipped over on the child playing behind it. Although they were not injured during the first incident the toy tipped over again, this time landing on the child who sustained a bump and bruise on their forehead. During this incident the bottom board split into two pieces lengthwise and the screw became dislodged. The small pieces holding the interchangeable panels popped off as well.
