SGB Update

About 1,800 outdoor playset gliders made by Backyard Play Systems LLC,
of Monroe, Mich. have been recalled. The CPSC said the retaining rings
used to secure the gliders to the playset can become loose or detached,
posing a fall hazard to children. Backyard Play Systems has received
one report of a retaining ring falling off. No injuries have been
reported.

CPSC said the recall involves outdoor playset gliders designed to hang
from home play equipment. The green plastic gliders were sold as an
accessory to home play equipment marketed under the brand names
Heartland Premium Play Systems, Yardline Play Systems and Backyard Play
Systems.

The item was sold by Backyard Buildings and More and Lowe’s stores
nationwide and online at Costco.com, BettyMills.com, and
BackyardBuildings.com from February 2008 through May 2009 for about
$100.

The CPSC has recalled about 500 outdoor playset gliders made by Backyard Play Systems. Some of the gliders were shipped with assembly instructions that did not inform consumers to tighten all lock nuts during assembly, including those attached by the manufacturer. As a result, some lock nuts were not fully fastened during assembly which could cause the glider to detach, posing a fall hazard to children.

 

Backyard Play Systems said it has received one report of a lock nut falling off. No injuries have been reported.
