Affected Products

This recall involves outdoor play set gliders designed to hang from home play equipment. The green plastic gliders were sold as an accessory to home play equipment marketed under the brand names Heartland Play Systems, Yardline Play Systems and Backyard Play Systems.

Why Was This Recalled?

As a result, some lock nuts were not fully fastened during assembly which could cause the glider to detach, posing a fall hazard to children.
