Recalled activity center

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of a popular line of Evenflo activity centers.

About 213,000 Evenflo ExerSaucer Triple Fun are being recalled because "when used as an activity table, the cap on one end of the product can loosen and fall off, posing a fall hazard to a young child," according to the CPSC.

The CPSC also says "Evenflo has received 11 reports of dislodged end caps which resulted in nine minor injuries, including bumps and bruises. Evenflo has also received a report of a dislodged end cap that resulted in a child suffering a broken collarbone in Canada."

Here are the recall's details from the CPSC:

• Evenflo ExerSaucer Triple Fun stationary activity centers made between October 2006 and December 2008.
  
• The model number is 6231711.
  
• Stage 3 position involves converting the product into an activity table.
  
• No other ExerSaucer models use end caps and, therefore, no other models are included in this recall.
• Sold at: Juvenile product and mass merchandise stores nationwide, including Toys ‘R Us and Burlington Baby Depot, from October 2006 through February 2009 for about $120.
• Consumers should immediately stop using the activity table in Stage 3 and contact Evenflo to receive a free replacement end cap. The product may continue to be used in Stages 1 and 2 without changes.
