Reported: November 5, 2009 Initiated: November 5, 2009 #10029

Product Description

Each set has an overhead monkey bar ladder that acts as both the monkey bar and swing beam, and an end ladder coated with cranberry or green plastic. The instruction manual has the name "Adventure Playsets" and one of the following model numbers printed on the cover. Durango 1-AP016 and 1- AP018 Yukon 1-AP052 Tacoma 1- AP017 and 1-AP051 El Dorado 1-AP016 Bellevue 1-AP048, and 1-AP012 Dakota 1- AP046 Sherwood 1-AP049 Sedona 1- AP002 Ventura 1-AP008 Madison 1- AP006 and 1-AP015 Belmont 1-AP003 Note: The Bellevue, Tacoma and Durango swing sets were previously recalled due to detaching frames and a fall hazard.

Reason for Recall

The plastic-coated lumber on the horizontal ladder (monkey bar/swing beam) can weaken over time due to rotting of the whitewood (spruce, pine and fir species), resulting in a fall hazard.
