Fisher-Price Recalls Simplicity Rainforest Portable Play Yards

Reports of Injuries and Broken Bones Prompts Recall

About 200,000 Rainforest Portable Play Yards are being recalled because 1 or more of the rails can collapse unexpectedly, posing a fall or entrapment hazard to young children.

The product is manufactured by Simplicity Inc. and SFCA Inc. Due to Simplicity Inc. and SFCA Inc. being unresponsive to consumers via their Hotline and Web site, a significant number of complaints were recently reported.

There have been at least 1,350 reports of 1 or more rails collapsing. There were numerous reports of children receiving bumps and bruises when the side rail collapsed. There were 5 reports of injuries which included a broken nose, a broken wrist, a mild concussion, a cut to the hand which required stitches, and a chipped tooth.

The recalled play yards are portable and were sold with a bassinet, changing table, and mobile features. The products have a Rainforest® patterned fabric, Rainforest themed artwork and bear the "Fisher-Price" logo. The Simplicity Inc. model numbers are 5310 RNF, 5310RNFC, and 5310RNFW. The model number is located on a sticker on one of the legs underneath the play yard.

The Play Yards were sold at retailers and specialty children's stores nationwide from January 2007 through January 2009 for about $100.
