What happened

The recalled models are Yardline Play Systems' Turbo Racer and Cloud Racer, and Gorilla Playsets' Captain's Fort and Fort Highlander. These playsets have wooden roofs with decorative gable designs, and the wooden reinforcement parts create a gap between the lower roof structure and the gable decoration that poses an entrapment hazard to children.

Consumers who own a recalled playset should immediately stop using it.
