The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Rocking Horse Depot, of Buckeye, Ariz. , today announced a voluntary recall of about 1,200 units of Rocking Horses. The reins on the rocking horse bridle are long enough to form a loop around a child’s head and neck, posing a strangulation hazard to young children. CPSC has received one report of a near strangulation incident involving a 21-month old girl who became entangled in the reins at her neck. The girl’s parents freed her without injury.
