Children’s Baseball Device Recalled: 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. The companies, 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 nationwide since January, 1991, in department and sports stores under the Sportcraft and Wilson labels. The games have the name “Sportcraft” or “Wilson” embossed on the top of the base.
