Little Tikes Clubhouse Swing Sets
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The recalled swing sets did not come with assembly directions for the swing seat harness. The swing seat harness assembly needs to be completed by the consumer. The swing seats can detach if the harness is not assembled properly, which could result in fall and injury during use.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fall risk.
