Product: Little Tikes Clubhouse Swing Set
Manufacturer: Little Tikes, of Hudson, OH
Recall: July 30, 2009. Little Tikes has recalled approximately 1,950 Clubhouse Swing Sets because they did not come with instructions for the swing seat harness, which needs to be completed by the consumer. The connections at the blue swing harness ends are not closed on the swing until final assembly by the consumer. If the consumer does not perform this step, the swing seat can detach, which poses a fall or injury hazard to a child. There have been no injuries reported.
The recalled product is the Little Tikes Clubhouse Swing Set that is molded plastic and features a climbing wall, rope ladder and two swings with blue and yellow seats. Only the blue seat model is being recalled and has model numbers 400V and 612398.
The recalled sets were sold nationwide at various retailers including Toys 'R' Us and Walmart from October 2008 through March 2009 for about $450.
What to do: Stop using the recalled swing set until you've obtained and thoroughly read the assembly instructions for the blue swing seat harness. Instructions can be obtained by going online to the Little Tikes website (www.littletikes.com) or calling the company's hotline.
