WASHINGTON (AP) - About 190,000 MacGregor and Mitre folding
soccer goals are being recalled after the death of a young child.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says a 20-month-old boy
from Texas was strangled when his head and arm became entangled in
the net of one of the recalled goals.
The agency has received one other report of a child's head
becoming entangled in a net.
The Chinese-made goals were distributed by Regent Sports
Corporation and sold by sports and hardware stores nationwide,
including Wal-Mart and Ace Hardware. They were available between
May 2002 and May 2008.
Parents and caregivers are advised to stop using the nets. They
can be returned to Regent Sports in exchange for a free, safe
replacement.
