Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Backyard Products recalled approximately 60,000 trapeze swings that were sold with backyard gym sets under the Backyard Escapes, Backyard Products, and WOW Wooden Play Centers brand names between December 1998 and July 1999. The swings have exposed bolts that are too long and extend upward above the nuts, creating a laceration hazard. The company received reports of six children suffering severe lacerations requiring stitches to their arms after contact with the trapeze bolts when dropping from overhead ladders or falling or climbing onto the exposed bolts.
Since Backyard Products is out of business and no repair program is available, consumers should immediately remove the trapeze swings from their gym sets and discard or destroy them. The recall does not apply to trapeze sets that are attached by a rope-type assembly.
