Swing Set Recall

May 2006

Children looking for fun on their backyard swings may be at risk for getting seriously hurt. About 26,000 swing sets made by Adventure Playsets have been voluntarily recalled, announced the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The wooden swing sets have defective bolts that could cause the swing set frame to detach from the fort structure, posing a fall hazard to users. To date, Backyard Ventures has received 64 reports of the bolt heads twisting off during installation.

The recalled swing sets include the following models: The Durango, Tacoma, Oddsey, Bellvue, Monarch, Grand Teton and Outlook II. Made of wood, the swing sets feature different types of slides, swings and a fabric canopy over part of the structure.

Consumers are urged to stop using the swing sets immediately and contact Backyard Ventures at 1-800-856-4445 to receive repair instructions and free replacement bolts for the recalled swing sets.
