The hazard
The weld between the side arch support and the top rail can fail. If that happens, the swings can collapse, causing children on the swings to fall and be injured by the falling top rail.
Incidents reported: Playworld has received one report of the top rail detaching, resulting in two injuries. One child bruised his knee while the second child bruised his shoulder.
What to do now
The swing set seats should immediately be removed from the swing set until a repair kit is installed. The firm will contact the owner directly by mail and provide a repair kit.
Contact: Contact Playworld Systems toll-free at (800) 233-8404 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.playworldsystems.com
