Yarn: The silent killer.

ayarner.jpg

How irresponsible can a yarn maker be? No wonder the Consumer Product Safety Commission just issued this dire warning:
Name of Product: Bernat Tizzy Yarn Hazard: In finished knit or crochet items, the yarn can unravel or snag and form a loop, posing an entanglement hazard to young children. Incidents/Injuries: Bernat has received two reports of children becoming entangled from unraveling or snagging yarn blankets. No injuries have been reported. Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the yarn or finished yarn projects, keep them out of the reach of young children, and contact Bernat for a full refund. This Week’s Consumer Product Safety Recall is…YARN | Free Range Kids
HT: The invaluable Morning Links of Maggies Farm.

Your Say

Well, shrug, if it can save just one child ...

Bernat is urged to donate any and all of this yarn to Black Negro Afro-American People of Color huddled as we speak and eagerly awaiting this newest free stuff.

Yarn, the silent killer. And let's not forget its killer cousin - thread.

At the risk of hijacking this string, don't overlook binder twine.
Loose ends are dangerous.
