Summary

Rainbow Play Systems is recalling about 121,000 pairs of yellow plastic trapeze rings sold as individual components or as part of residential wooden playsets. These triangular rings can unexpectedly crack or break during use, which has resulted in over 100 reports of breakages and 15 injuries including concussions, lacerations, and a broken finger. The affected rings were sold by Rainbow dealers and major retailers like Sam's Club, Toys R Us, and Walmart between 2007 and 2011. Consumers should stop using the rings immediately and contact the manufacturer for removal instructions to receive a $10 gift card.

Risk

The plastic rings can suddenly crack or shatter while a child is hanging from them, causing the child to fall unexpectedly to the ground. This pose a serious risk of impact injuries, as evidenced by reports of concussions and broken bones.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop children from using the yellow plastic trapeze rings on your playset.
  2. Check your wooden swing beam for an aluminum plate with the names 'Playgrounds America,' 'Rainbow Play Systems Inc.,' or 'Sunray Premium Playgrounds' to confirm the brand.
  3. Identify if you have the recalled rings: they are yellow, triangular with rounded sides, measure about 8½ inches high by 6½ inches wide, and have a loop at the top for connection to a trapeze bar.
  4. Contact Rainbow Play Systems toll-free at 888-201-1570 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or online at www.rainbowplay.com and click on the 'Recall' tab for specific ring removal instructions.
  5. Once the rings are removed according to the provided instructions, you will be eligible to receive a $10 gift card.
