BCI Burke is recalling about 440 Merge playground climbers sold between November 2015 and August 2019. These metal climbers, used on playground equipment to access play structures, have a design defect where a welded rung opening on the side of the climber is the wrong size. No injuries have been reported, but the company is proactively replacing units that do not meet safety standards. Consumers should immediately stop using these climbers and block them off from children until they can be inspected.
A welded rung opening on the sides of the climber is sized in a way that can cause a child's head or body to become trapped, posing a serious risk of strangulation or injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the Merge Climbers and block them off from children's use. BCI Burke is contacting all known owners directly by certified mail, and Burke representatives will inspect and replace climbers that are not compliant with the current voluntary standard for this product.
