Summary

Play and Park Structures is recalling approximately 150 SuperMax triple slides because a gap between the rails near the slide entrance can trap a child. This recall includes molded plastic slides with an eight-foot deck in model numbers 71717, 71718, and 71732, which were sold to parks, schools, and municipalities between May 2014 and February 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these slides and contact the manufacturer to schedule a free inspection and repair.

Risk
