Texas Flexible Flyer Swing Set LawyerJuly 13, 2012 — After receiving 1,232 reports of broken see saws which caused 13 children to become injured, Troxel has voluntarily recalled 11 models of the Flexible Flyer Swing Set. The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada have both issued press releases to announce the recall. The bolt fasteners on the see saw are defective, and the seat can break during use. This has exposed children to severe injuries from jagged plastic and/or metal. Children have suffered serious bruises and lacerations from broken see saw seats.

 

It is uncommon for a manufacturer to wait to issue a recall until after receiving more than 1,200 reports of a similar, hazardous defect with their product — especially when the product is designed to be used by children. Usually, companies issue recalls immediately after identifying a safety hazard. This is because the number of reported incidents is usually far less than the actual number of incidents.

Troxel is recalling more than 100,500 Flexible Flyer swing sets in the U.S., and 4,900 swing sets in Canada. The products were sold at Walmart, Toys R Us, Academy, various specialty stores, and through websites online from December 2011 until May 2012. The swing sets cost between $130-280.

The following Flexible Flyer models are being recalled:

  • 4157 5BIG ADVENTURE
  • 41577 FUN FANTASTIC
  • 41578 FUN FANTASTIC II
  • 42003 BACKYARD FLYER
  • 42013 BACKYARD FUN
  • 42023 BACKYARD SWINGIN’ FUN
  • 42030 WINDSOR II
  • 42124 FUN TIME
  • 42126 FANTASTIC PLAYGROUND
  • 42544 TRIPLE FUN
  • 42560 TRIPLE FUN II

Note: The model number is located on the underside of the middle bar above the swings.

The CPSC is warning anyone who owns one of these swing sets to stop using it and contact the manufacturer immediately for a free repair kit. Troxel can be reached at (888) 770-7060 or at http://www.regcen.com/flexibleflyer.
