This recall involves approximately 415 BCI Burke Inclusive Orbit playground merry-go-rounds, which are spinning play components featuring three handrails and a seat. The recalled equipment, model numbers 560-0042 and 560-0051, was sold to municipalities, schools, and churches between April 2019 and October 2024. The space between the spinning platform and the stationary outer rim can create a gap that narrows during use, posing a crushing hazard to children. There have been two reports of children's fingers being trapped in this gap, resulting in crushing injuries. BCI Burke is providing free onsite inspections and repairs.
Children can get their fingers caught in the narrowing gap between the rotating platform and the stationary outer rim while the equipment is in motion, leading to serious crushing injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled merry-go-rounds and contact the owner of the equipment, such as park director or school principal, to determine if equipment has been inspected and repaired. Contact BCI Burke to schedule an inspection and free onsite repair.
Platform surface is flush with the ground surrounding it; designed for a capacity of six children.
