Plain-English summary

The Step2 Company LLC is recalling about 4,300 Step2 Play Up Gym play sets (model number 797300) due to a fall hazard. The triangular hangers that attach the swing's ropes to the upper rail of the play set can break, which could cause a child to fall. The recalled outdoor play sets include a platform, climber, slide area, and two swings, and feature a red "Step2" logo plate on the front. Play sets with hangers that have white plastic bushings are not subject to this recall.

The recalled play sets were sold exclusively at Toys"R"Us stores nationwide from January 2009 through April 2009 for about $400. Step2 has received 17 reports of hangers breaking, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled play sets and contact Step2 at (800) 347-8372 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.step2.com, to receive a set of replacement hangers and instructions.
