Swing Sets Recalled for Repair Due to Risk of Top Beam Disconnecting

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.. Recalled by PlayPower LT Farmington Inc., of Farmington, Mo. (formerly Little Tikes Commercial Play Systems Inc.). Units affected: About 3,600.

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.

Consumers should stop using the recalled swing sets immediately and remove the swing's chains and seats from the top beam until a repair kit can be installed. PlayPower LT is contacting swing owners directly by mail and is providing free repair kits.
