What was recalled

Both swing sets have metal frames in a variety of colors. The swings hang by chains from the top beam and have black flexible rubber seats. The frame of the "Max Play" Model 200096625 has vertical support posts with a horizontal beam connected across the top. The frame of the "Kid Builders Arch" Model 200122457 has arched end posts with a horizontal beam across the top.

Hazard

The connection between the swing set's horizontal top beam and the vertical end support post can break, posing a risk of injury, if the user falls to the ground or is hit by the beam.

Injuries

PlayPower LT has received 22 reports of cracks at the connection between the swing's horizontal top beam and the vertical end support post. No injuries have been reported.
