Playland International is recalling about 700 Arch swing sets.
The metal around the weld at the top of the swing frame can fail, causing the top bar to fall, posing a fall and impact hazard to the user or bystanders.
The firm received one report of a child who suffered a head injury as a result of being struck by the top of the bar on the swing.
The recall includes swings sets with a 3.5 inch arch swing frame and a 3.5 inch top metal bar. The recalled swing sets come in red, orange, yellow, blue, tan, white, black , brown, teal, green, fuchsia, burgundy and purple.
The swings, made in the U.S., were sold by Playland International dealers nationwide from September 2001 through May 2006 for between $800 and $2300.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled swing sets and contact Playland for instruction on receiving and installing a free repair kit.
For additional information, contact Playland International at (800) 356-4727 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.playland-inc.com.
