North States Recalls Superyard Play Enclosures Due to Choking Hazard

North States is offering repair kits for Superyard enclosures and extension kits because small plastic locking posts can detach, posing a choking risk to small children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a choking hazard with one reported incident of a child choking, fitting the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported as a permanent consequence or hospitalization.

Plain-English summary

North States Industries is offering a free repair kit for approximately 70,000 Superyard children's play enclosures and 6,000 Superyard Extension Kits. The affected units were manufactured between November 8, 1994, and October 17, 1995. The Superyard (model 8634) consists of six interlocking plastic panels, while the Extension Kit (model 8631) includes two additional panels.

The recall is necessary because small plastic locking posts can be pulled loose when panels are disconnected. This presents a choking hazard to small children. North States has received 20 reports of posts pulling loose, including one incident where a child put a post in their mouth and started to choke.

Consumers should check the production date stamped on a diamond-shaped label in the center of one of the plastic panels. If the date falls between November 8, 1994, and October 17, 1995, consumers should call North States at (800) 848-4927 to obtain a free repair kit and installation instructions.
