Arlopu Recalls Slide Playsets Due to Risk of Serious Injury and Death from Head and Neck Entrapment Hazards
- Why it was recalled
- The recalled products contain multiple openings where a child’s torso can fit through the opening, but a child’s head cannot, posing a risk of serious injury and death due to head and neck entrapment hazards. Additionally, the basketball nets on the recalled products with model number KT-CS17 can come unhooked from the rim, forming a loop large enough for a child’s head, posing entanglement and strangulation hazards.
- What to do
- Consumers should stop using the Arlopu Slide Playsets immediately and store them away from children. Contact Arlopu for a free repair kit, which includes redesigned panels, basketball hoops and installation instructions. Consumers will be asked to provide a photo of the product showing the model number to [email protected]. Upon receipt of the photo, the firm will mail the free repair kit directly to consumers. Once the repair has been completed, consumers should write “RECALLED” with permanent marker on the removed components and dispose of the removed components.
