Things Fall Apart: Backyard Play Equipment Recalled

Posted by Shannon LC Cate

The Consumer Products Safety Commission has recalled 4,300 backyard play sets and 60,000 trampolines.  The play sets were sold at Toys R Us and the trampolines were sold in various specialty stores as well as online.

The play set, the Step2 Play Up Gym, has faulty hangers attaching the swings to the bar.  The hangers have broken, causing falls, though no injuries have been reported.  You can learn more about the recall and/or order replacement hangers and a repair kit by calling (800) 347-8372.

The 13-square foot trampoline is made by Skywalker Holdings of Utah.  It's safety nets can break, allowing a child to fall through and off of the trampoline.  Consumers can call the company at (866) 603-5867 for a free repair kit.

Until the equipment is repaired, the Consumer Products Safety Commission is advising consumers to stop using it immediately.
