Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

If you or someone you know has this Adventure Playsets Wooden Swing Sets, please make sure they have their children stop playing on it immediately!  Reports of  falling hazard have been reported from a weakening of fort sections due to rot.  This is occurring in the plastic-coated uprights, so I doubt you would even notice the rot before it’s too late.

Units: Approximately 240,000; a number of these products were recalled in November 2009 for a similar hazard (LINK: http://www.cpsc.gov/CPSCPUB/PREREL/prhtml10/10029.html), which listed 275,000 playsets in the U.S. and 6,800 in Canada.

Manufacturer: Adventure Playsets, of Pittsburg, KS

Hazard: The wood in the posts of the fort sections on the swing sets can weaken due to rotting, posing a fall hazard.

Incidents/Injuries: Adventure Playsets has received more than 500 complaints reporting concern over the weakened wood in the 2×4 plastic-coated uprights. One report of a fall was received when the ladder failed resulting in bruises and scratches.

Description: The swing sets come with swings, slides and ladders. Each set has a fort structure that uses green or cranberry colored plastic coated 2″x 4″ wood upright posts and a green nylon fabric covered shade. The sets were sold under the following names: Bellevue, Bellevue II, Belmont, Durango, Durango II, Sedona, Tacoma, Tacoma II, Ventura, Venture II and Yukon,. The name is printed on the manufacturer’s instructions that came with the play set. The recalled swing set name, model number, name of the retailer and year sold follow:
