Toys R Us is recalling about 15,000 Playsafe Spinning Quad merry-go-rounds. The inner bearing on the merry-go-round can fail, causing the seat assembly to suddenly drop to the ground. This poses a fall hazard to children riding the merry-go-round.
Pacific Cycle has received one report of an injury involving the merry-go- round, which resulted in a fall and abrasions to a child.
The Playsafe Spinning Quad Merry-Go-Round has four yellow plastic seats and black and silver metal bars. They were sold by Toys R Us nationwide between January 2008 through March 2008 for between $80 and $100. They were made in China.
Consumers should immediately take the merry-go-round away from children and return it to Toys R Us for a full refund, or contact Pacific Cycle to receive a free retrofit kit.
For additional information, contact Pacific Cycle toll free at (877) 564-2261 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.pacific-cycle.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
