CPSC, Swing-N-Slide Announce Recall of "Mega Rider" Swings

Reported: February 5, 2004 Initiated: February 5, 2004 #04076

Product Description

The recalled backyard playground "Mega Rider" swing can be used by one or two children. The blue-colored plastic "Mega Rider" is suspended from a crossbeam by four plastic-coated chains. Children sitting back-to-back push in different directions to make the swing move back and forth. Printed on the handle below the seat connection in raised lettering are the words, "Swing-N-Slide, 1212 Barberry Drive, Janesville, WI, Made in U.S.A., 1-800-888-1232, THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN FROM THE AGES OF 2 TO 10 YEARS. READ INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO USE."

Reason for Recall

The plastic handle on the Mega Rider swing could crack at the seat connection, allowing the metal connecting rod to pull out. If this occurs, a child on the swing could fall to the ground.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the "Mega Riders" immediately and return them to the company for a replacement product, with increased material thickness. Swing-N-Slide will provide consumers with a self-addressed box to return the product.
