CHILD'S INJURY SPURS BATTING STAND RECALL

Two companies are recalling a children's practice baseball batting stand after a report that a child was partially blinded by a metal washer that detached from the game.

General Sportcraft Ltd. and Foremost Sports Co., both of Bergenfield, N.J., agreed to recall the "Batting Tee" in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. About 153,000 sets have been sold since January 1991.

Consumers are asked to stop using the games bearing Wilson model number 96010 or Sportcraft number 06650 and return them to the store for a refund.

The games also can be returned to: Batting Tee Recall, General Sportcraft-Foremost, 140 Woodbine Street, Bergenfield, N.J. 07621
