Chinese Jump Ropes

Klutz Inc is offering to replace the Chinese jump ropes sold with about 66,000 children's activity books entitled "Chinese Jump Rope" distributed by Klutz. The ends of the elasticized ropes are joined together by metal crimps that may fail in use. Children using the ropes or standing nearby can be hit by an end of the rope as it snaps back. Consumers should take the recalled jump ropes away from children immediately and call Klutz collect at 415-857-0888 for the free replacement ropes. (Alternatively consumers can make their own repair by cutting the ends of the ropes, removing the metal crimps, and tying the ends of the rope together with a square knot.
