Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 100,500 Flexible Flyer swing sets are being recalled because the see saw seats can break away from their bolt fasteners during use. This recall involves 11 different models, including BIG ADVENTURE, FUN FANTASTIC, and BACKYARD FLYER, sold at Walmart, Toys R Us, and other retailers between December 2011 and May 2012. The manufacturer has received 1,232 reports of these seats breaking, resulting in 13 injuries to children such as bumps, bruises, and cuts. Consumers should stop using the see saw portion of the swing set immediately and contact Troxel for a free repair kit.

Risk

The see saw seats can detach from the metal frame during use because the plastic breaks around the attachment bolts. This causes children to fall unexpectedly, which has led to multiple reports of lacerations, bruises, and bumps.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the model number on your Flexible Flyer swing set by checking the sticker found underneath the center of the top bar of the unit.
  2. Verify if your model is one of the affected units: 41575 (BIG ADVENTURE), 41577 (FUN FANTASTIC), 41578 (FUN FANTASTIC II), 42003 (BACKYARD FLYER), 42013 (BACKYARD FUN), 42023 (BACKYARD SWINGIN' FUN), 42030 (WINDSOR II), 42124 (FUN TIME), 42126 (FANTASTIC PLAYGROUND), 42544 (TRIPLE FUN), or 42560 (TRIPLE FUN II).
  3. Immediately stop using the see saw attachment on the swing set if it is one of the affected models.
