Recall-flexible flyer swing sets sold at Walmart

Consumer Recalls: Swing Sets

Flexible Flyer Swing Sets

The Troxel Company, of Moscow, Tenn. announced a voluntary recall of Flexible Flyer Swing Sets because the see saw seats can break away from the bolt fasteners during use, posing a fall hazard. The Flexible Flyer swing sets come in 11 different models each with a see saw attachment along with swings, bars or a slide. The model number can be found on a sticker located underneath the center of the top bar of each swing set unit. Model numbers and names are listed here. The affected swing sets were sold by Walmart, Toys R Us, Academy and at other specialty stores, and online retailers from December 2011 through May 2012 for between $130 and $280.
Consumers should stop using the see saws immediately and contact Troxel to receive a free repair kit. For additional information, contact Troxel at (888) 770-7060 between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit the company's website.
