It has three restraint straps with red buckles and is attached to a cushioned pad for the infant. A mounting fixture, also called a fixing set, is sold with the hammock. . “La Siesta” is printed on a tag located below the restraint straps. Model number YABN-1 is printed on a white tag sewn into the hammock’s side seam.They were sold through Nova Natural online at www.novanatural.com and though Kaplan’s 2005-2007 Infant, Toddlers & Two (ITT) catalog and online at www.kaplanco.com from October 2007 through October 2008 for about $100. The products were made in Colombia.

I've never heard of a hammock for a small child before. Due to the nature of hammocks, this is quite an important recall (not that others aren't). They really have to get this product right or a child could easily end up dead.
