The product, in the report: SKLZ Hit-A-Way Jr. batting tee. Tee has black base, yellow tee with detachable parts, black plastic tether and white foam ball. Also came with foam-covered bat.
I am writing concerning the SKLZ Hit-A-Way Jr. This is a t-ball tee with removable parts so that it can be adjusted for height. It also has a tethered ball attached to a plastic cord at the top and bottom of the tee, so kids can practice swinging at the ball instead of just off the tee. My 3-year old son was playing near the tee on our back patio when I went inside for a couple minutes to help my 5-year old son get his swimsuit off. I came right back outside to hang his swimsuit and in that short time my 3-year had the tether cord wrapped tight around his neck. He managed to get his leg caught too, further tightening the cord. I couldn’t remove the cord from his neck without freeing his leg first. He is fine now, because I came out of the house so fast. I don’t believe he could have freed himself from the cord. This product says it is for 3 years+ which should be fine considering the t-ball age is typically 3-5 years, but I believe it is very, very dangerous for younger kids.
