Backyard Play Systems has recalled about 5,100 outdoor playsets sold under the brand names Yardline Play Systems (models Turbo Racer and Cloud Racer) and Gorilla Playsets (models Captain's Fort and Fort Highlander). These wooden playsets, sold online at Costco.com and Lowes.com between March 2019 and May 2021, feature a wooden roof with a decorative gable design. The recall was issued because children can become trapped in a gap within the roof's gable structure, and consumers are urged to stop using the playsets and contact the company for a free repair kit.
The wooden parts used for the decorative gable on the roof create a gap where a child's head or body can become trapped between the lower roof structure and the gable decoration, posing an entrapment hazard. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled playsets and contact Backyard Play Systems for a free repair kit which includes replacement wood parts, hardware and instructions. If a consumer is unable or does not want to do the repair themselves, Backyard will send a representative to perform the repair for them at no charge. The firm is contacting all known purchasers directly.
