Rocking Horse Depot Recalls Rocking Horses Due to Strangulation Hazard

Rocking Horse Depot has recalled several of their rocking horse toys because of the possibility of strangulation in young children. The recall was announced with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, sometimes referred as the CPSC.

The Rocking Horse Depot was made aware of the possibility of strangulation following a consumer complaint. The complaint was from the parents of a child that escaped strangulation when her parents removed the reins of the rocking horse from the girl's neck.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission report states that the reins on the rocking horses are 'long enough to form a loop' and this poses a hazard. For complete details view the report here.
