Plain-English summary

Little Tikes, of Hudson, Ohio, is recalling approximately 1,950 Clubhouse Swing Sets. The recalled products are plastic molded swing sets featuring a climbing wall, rope ladder, slide, and two swings with blue and yellow seats. Only the blue seat model is affected, with model numbers 400V and 612398.

The recall is due to a fall hazard. The swing sets did not come with assembly directions for the swing seat harness, which must be completed by the consumer. If the harness is not assembled properly, the swing seats can detach, which could result in a fall and injury during use. No injuries have been reported.

The swing sets were sold at various retailers, including Toys R Us and Walmart, from October 2008 through March 2009 for about $450. Consumers should stop using the recalled swing sets immediately until they have obtained and carefully read the assembly instructions for the swing seat harness. Instructions can be obtained by accessing the Little Tikes website or by calling the firm's hotline.
