BCI Recalls Swing Sets Due to Fall Hazard
07579 · Recalled 2007-09-25 · CPSC page
Description
The recall includes the Single Post Swing Set (model 550-0033) and added bay swings (model 550-0035) with belt or bucket seats. The swings are made with a 2-3/8-inch diameter top beam that is welded to a formed plate on each end to attach to the upright post.
Hazards
The connection on the top beam of the swing set can break, causing the swing beam to collapse, posing a fall hazard to the user. A user or bystander also can be injured by the falling top rail.
Reported injuries
The firm has received four reports of the swing set beam breaking and one report of child with bruises after falling from the swing.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the product immediately and remove the existing swings from the top beam immediately. Consumers can re-install the swings once the repair kit is received and installed with the current beam. BCI Burke will contact the owners directly by mail and provide a free repair kit.
