Summertime is an active time for youngsters. Little girls are removing their training wheels and learning to ride their two-wheel bikes; boys are exploring how high they can make the backyard swing go while mom stands by trying to control her overprotective "mom genes" from spoiling the fun. But those who purchased the Playsafe Dartmouth Swing Set, manufactured by Pacific-Cycle Inc. in Wisconsin, actually do have something to worry about.
It seems that the yellow plastic sling-seat can unexpectantly break during use, creating a fall hazard for children. The company has received 5 reports of the seats breaking resulting in minor bruises and scratches. They were sold from January to May 2011 only at Toys R Us stores across the USA, and this recall covers 5,500 products that sold for $270 each.
