BACKYARD PLAYSETS SOLD BY LOWE’S, COSTCO RECALLED DUE TO ENTRAPMENT HAZARD

Backyard playsets for kids sold by Lowe’s and Costco have been recalled due to an entrapment hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Thursday.

According to the recall notice, the wooden parts used to reinforce and create a decorative gable design on the wooden roof may cause children to become trapped in the gap between the lower part of the roof structure and the bottom of the gable decoration. No incidents or injuries associated with the recall have been reported at this time.

The recall includes Backyard Play Systems outdoor playsets with a wooden roof. The wooden roof is included with the following brand names: Yardline Play Systems (models Turbo Racer, Cloud Racer) and Gorilla Playsets (models Captain’s Fort, Fort Highlander).

The playsets were sold online at Costco.com from March 2019 through May 2021 (Turbo Racer, Cloud Racer) and online at Lowes.com from December 2020 through May 2021 (Captain’s Fort, Fort Highlander) for around $1,000.

Anyone with the recalled playsets is urged to immediately stop using it and contact Backyard Play Systems for a free repair kit. If a customer is unable or does not want to repair the playset themselves, Backyard says the company will send a representative to perform the repair for them at no charge.
