Wooden playsets recalled

About 275,000 Adventure Playsets wooden playsets, manufactured in the United States and distributed by Adventure Playsets of Amarillo, Texas, because the materials in the horizontal ladder that forms the monkey bars and swing beam can weaken over time. This poses a fall hazard. An additional 6,800 sets were recalled in Canada. The company has received more than 1,400 reports of rotting ladders and 16 reports of injuries, including nine emergency room visits.

Some of the sets were also recalled in 2006 for defective bolts.
