Miracle Recreation is recalling about 1,400 playground tire swings.
The hanger clamp on the tire swing can fail causing the tire swing to detach. This poses a fall hazard to young children and risk of serious injury.
Miracle Recreation Equipment Co. has received three reports of injuries, including two reports of cuts requiring stitches and one report of a fractured foot.
The recalled Tire Swing consists of a tire, which hangs from a swivel and three chains. The recall includes the following products and model numbers:
| Kids' Choice Arch Tire Swing Sets | Model # 714-852 |
| Kids' Choice Arch Tire Swing Extension | Model # 714-852-X |
| Kids' Choice Arch Tire Swing Swivel Replacement | Model #278 |
The swings were sold by authorized dealers to schools, parks and municipalities nationwide from February 1995 through March 2008 for between $570 and $2,100. They were made in the United States.
Consumers should immediately remove the tire swing, including the swivel, chains and tire from the hanger clamp until a free repair kit is installed. The company has sent direct mail notices to consumers.
For additional information, contact Miracle Recreation at (800) 523-4202 ext 683, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or via e-mail at recalls@miraclerec.com, or visit the firm's Web site www.miracle-recreation.com
