Swing Sets Recalled for Repair by BCI Burke Due to Fall Hazard
12726 · Recalled 2012-03-07 · CPSC page
Description
This recall involves the end and middle arch supports on Arch Swing Sets and added bays with belt or bucket seats built with 2 3/8 inch steel tubing. The swings have a 2 7/8 inch diameter sleeve that is welded to the middle or end support. "Burke" is printed on identification labels that were provided to installers who may or may not have put them on the swings.
Hazards
The welded connection of the sleeve joint to the arch support can crack or break. When this happens, the top swing beam can collapse causing children on the swings to fall and be injured.
Reported injuries
The firm has received seven reports of incidents involving the recalled swing sets, including two minor injuries.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled swing sets, remove the chain and swings and contact the firm for a free retrofit kit. BCI Burke is contacting owners directly by mail.
