FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 12, 2002 Alert #03-507 |
PRODUCT: Swing Seats - Miracle Recreation Equipment Company, of Monett, Mo., is voluntarily recalling about 22,000 Slash Proof Swing Seats. The recalled swing seats are made of blue polymer material with "Miracle M" embossed on the topside of the seat and an "M" on the underside above the date code. Miracle Recreation Equipment Company sold the swing seats nationwide from June 2001 to September 2002 for use on public playground equipment.
PROBLEM: Metal inserts inside the swing seats can wear through and cause lacerations to children.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES: Two children have been injured and received stitches to lacerations on an arm and a leg from exposed metal on edges of swing seats.

If there are already exposed metal inserts on the edges of your seats, immediately take down the seats and chains.
