Swingset Recall

Consumer Recalls: Swing Sets
Adventure Playsets, of Pittsburg, KS announced a voluntary recall of approximately 240,000 Adventure Playsets Wooden Swing Sets because wood in the posts of the fort sections on the swing sets can weaken due to rotting, posing a fall hazard. The swing sets come with swings, slides and ladders. Each set has a fort structure that uses green or cranberry colored plastic coated 2”x 4” wood upright posts and a green nylon fabric covered shade. The sets were sold under the following names: Bellevue, Bellevue II, Belmont, Durango, Durango II, Sedona, Tacoma, Tacoma II, Ventura, Venture II and Yukon,. The name is printed on the manufacturer’s instructions that came with the play set. For pictures and a complete list of the recalled swing set name, model number, name of the retailer, and year sold, go here. The affected swing sets were sold at Academy Sports (the Yukon); Mills and Menards (the Ventura/II) all from 2005 to 2007; Mills (the Belmont) in 2004; Toys-R-Us (the Bellevue/II); and Walmart (the Tacoma/II, Durango/II, and Sedona). The units sold for $300-$600.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled swing sets and contact Adventure Playsets to obtain a free repair kit.
