Parents need to check out their kiddies backyard swingsets. Sone swingsets sold at Walmart, Toys R Us and various other outlets are unsafe and subject to a voluntary recall. Full description follows:
Description: This recall involves wooden play sets with swings, slides and ladders. Each set has an overhead monkey bar ladder that acts as both the monkey bar and swing beam, and an end ladder coated with cranberry or green plastic. The instruction manual has the name “Adventure Playsets” and one of the following model numbers printed on the cover.
Durango 1-AP016 and 1- AP018 Yukon 1-AP052 Tacoma 1- AP017 and 1-AP051 El Dorado 1-AP016 Bellevue 1-AP048, and 1-AP012 Dakota 1- AP046 Sherwood 1-AP049 Sedona 1- AP002 Ventura 1-AP008 Madison 1- AP006 and 1-AP015 Belmont 1-AP003 Note: The Bellevue,Tacoma and Durango swing sets were previously recalled due to detaching frames and a fall hazard
Hazard: The wood inside the plastic coating on the monkey bar can rot without being detected. There have been about 1 500 incidents resulting in injuries to children, including arm fractures.
Fix: Do not allow children to use the swingsets in question until you have received a replacement kit.
