No one hurt Made Jan 28, 2013, sent to the company Feb 7, 2013, published by CPSC Mar 1, 2013
The product, in the report: Doorway hanging puppet theater. It is a fabric panel that hangs using a tension rod. It has a cut out for the child and curtains that hang on a heavy metal rod.
There are three problems with this product. First, the puppet theater has a tension rod that is supposed to hold it in place in a doorway. The puppet theater is made of fabric that hangs in the doorway. The tension rod does not work causing the theater to slip and fall. Second, there is a very heavy metal rod that fits in the middle of the fabric panel and is used to slide the curtains open and closed. It is not permanently fixed to the panel. The rod is too long for the tiny fabric pockets that it sits in and falls out very easily, especially given the faulty tension rod (I replaced it with my own tension rod). Thirdly, the rod is incredibly heavy. Way heavier than it should ever be. It must weigh about a half a pound or a pound. If it should fall onto a child’s head it would cause a devastating injury. Seeing as though it falls out easily because a) the tension rod does not work and b) the rod does not fit in the pockets that secure it, I can imagine that this could happen very easily. It fell out while I was trying to install it 3 or 4 times until I finally decided that for safety reasons I was going to remove the rod and buy a wooden dowel to replace it. I also purchased my own tension rod for the fabric panel.
